The closed point at 2.5 indicates that the value 2.5 is included in the solution set. The rightward arrow means that any number greater than 2.5 is also included.
Thus, the linear inequality that describes the graph is:
\[ x \geq 2.5 \]
Use the image to answer the question.
A number line ranges from negative 10 to 10 with numbers listed in unit increments. A closed point is plotted on the number line at 2.5. A rightward arrow is marked on the number line that originates at the closed circle and goes beyond 10.
What linear inequality is shown graphed on the number line? Make sure to write your inequality so that x
comes first.
