Based on your description, the open circle at -5 indicates that -5 is not included in the solution, and since the line extends to the left ending at -8, the inequality represents all values less than -5.
Thus, the inequality depicted in the graph is:
\[ x < -5 \]
However, since the endpoint is -8 and if the graph ends there, you might be indicating that the solution is constrained. Therefore, if -8 is an endpoint reached and it's also an open circle, the correct representation, considering the entire range from -8 to -5 (excluding -5 and including -8 if it's closed) would be:
\[ -8 < x < -5 \]
But if the ending was indeed an open circle at -8, it would be:
\[ -8 < x < -5 \]
Please clarify if -8 is an open or closed circle for a more accurate interpretation.
