Question

Solve the inequality 4x>10. Which of the following graphs shows the solution? (1 point)
Responses

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.

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 rightward arrow is marked on the number line that originates at the open circle and goes beyond 10.

Answer 1

The correct graph that shows the solution is option 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 6. A rightward arrow is marked on the number line that originates at the open circle and goes beyond 10. This is because the inequality 4x > 10 means x is greater than 10/4 which is 2.5. So the solution includes all values greater than 2.5, and the arrow going to the right indicates this.
