A number line ranges from negative 12 to 0 in increments of 1. A closed point is plotted at negative 7. An arrow extends indefinitely left from the closed point past negative 12 along the number line.

The description of the number line indicates that there is a closed point at -7, which means that -7 is included in the solution set, and the arrow extends indefinitely to the left. This indicates that all values less than or equal to -7 are included.
Therefore, the correct inequality that represents the number line graph is:
x ≤ −7 (x less-than-or-equal-to negative 7)
