Question

Graph this inequality:
x<–5
Plot points on the boundary line. Select the line to switch between solid and dotted. Select a region to shade it.

Answer 1

To graph the inequality x < -5, we will first graph the boundary line x = -5 as a vertical line passing through the point (-5,0). Since the inequality is strict (x < -5), we will represent the boundary line as a dotted line to indicate that points on the line itself are not included.

Next, we will shade the region to the left of the boundary line to represent all values of x that are less than -5.

Here is the graph of the inequality x < -5:

The vertical line represents the boundary line x = -5, and it is shown as a dotted line. The shaded region to the left of the line represents all values of x that satisfy the inequality x < -5.
