first THE GRaph shows all the numbers greater than -7 but the graph doesn't include the value itself

$$-7<y$$ or the solution set {-6,-5,-4,-3 . ... and so on all the way to infinity]

in a simplify form can be written like: (-7, infinity) 

now solve for y in each option, and look for the true statement: 

y>-7

which one is the answer ?

rock_mit182 · Answer

on the second example does not include the value a because of the symbol <

rock_mit182 · Answer

like in your excercise

rock_mit182 · Answer

so we can see clearly that any option that has not the symbol <, is wrong

So it's either A or B and I said B....Which makes since.
