Responses

A. A number line ranges from negative 10 to 10 with numbers listed in unit increments. An open point is plotted on the number line at 6. A leftward arrow is marked on the number line that originates at the open circle and goes beyond negative 10.

Answer 1

The correct graph is B. A number line ranges from negative 10 to 10 with numbers listed in unit increments. An open point is plotted on the number line at 2.5. A leftward arrow is marked on the number line that originates at the open circle and goes beyond negative 10.

This is because the inequality 4x > 10 implies that x must be greater than 10/4, which is equal to 2.5. Therefore, the open point is plotted at x = 2.5 and the leftward arrow goes towards the negative side of the number line, indicating that x can be any value less than 2.5.
