**Title: Solving Rational Inequalities and Interpreting Graphical Solutions**

---

In this exercise, you are tasked with solving the rational inequality and expressing the solution on a real number line. The goal is to determine and graph the solution set, expressing it in interval notation.

**Given Inequality**:
\[
\frac{x + 2}{x + 6} > 0
\]

**Solution Steps**:
1. Solve the inequality. Determine the values of \( x \) that satisfy \(\frac{x + 2}{x + 6} > 0\).
2. Determine the intervals of \( x \) that fulfill the inequality.
3. Graph the solution set on a number line.

**Solution Choices**:
- **A**: Enter the solution set in the box. The solution should be expressed in interval notation. Use integers or fractions for numbers and simplify if necessary.
- **B**: Indicate if the solution set is empty.

**Graph Explanation**:

Several number lines (A through F) are presented to visualize the solution:

- **Graph A**: Arrow to the right starting just beyond \( x = -6 \) with a hollow circle, and also beginning beyond \( x = -2 \) with a solid circle, extending rightward without end.
- **Graph B**: Continuous arrow from left to right with no interruption.
- **Graph C**: Graph spans from negative infinity to just below \( x = -6 \) and from \( x = -2 \) to positive infinity (both intervals have solid circles on endpoints).
- **Graph D**: Line extending but stopping at specific intervals unmarked by visual endpoints.
- **Graph E**: Solid line segment spanning between approximately \( x = -6 \) and \( x = -2 \).
- **Graph F**: Line segment between \( x = -6 \) and \( x = -2 \).

**Step to Finalize**:
Select the most appropriate graph that visually represents the solution set based on the solved inequality.

*Note*: Always verify your solution by testing values within the determined intervals to ensure accuracy.
