To represent the inequality \( x > -238 \) graphically, you'll want to draw a ray on a number line:
1. **Draw a Number Line:** Start by drawing a horizontal line and marking equal intervals along it.
2. **Mark the Point -238:** Find -238 on the number line and place a point there.
3. **Select an Endpoint:** Since the inequality is strictly greater than (\( > \)), you will use an open dot (or open circle) at -238 to indicate that -238 is not included in the solution set.
4. **Draw the Ray:** From the open dot at -238, draw an arrow extending to the right, indicating that \( x \) can take values greater than -238.
This visual shows that the solution set includes all numbers greater than -238, but not -238 itself.
Remember, if you were using a tool or software for this, you would simply select the option for an open endpoint at -238 and draw the ray extending to the right.
