Solve #x + y < -1#

Explanation:

rearrange your starting inequality to isolate #y# on one side

#y < - x - 1#

First, graph the line : #y = - x - 1# by its 2 intercepts.
Make

#x = 0 -> y = -1#. make #y = 0 -> x = -1#

The solution set of the inequality is the area below this line. Color or shade it. That is the answer.

graph{y < -x-1 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}
