To solve the inequality \( 6x + 9 > 57 \), follow these steps:

1. Subtract 9 from both sides:
\[
6x > 57 - 9
\]
\[
6x > 48
\]

2. Divide both sides by 6:
\[
x > \frac{48}{6}
\]
\[
x > 8
\]

The solution to the inequality is \( x > 8 \).

Now, we can check the options:

1. The first graph shows an open point at 11 with a rightward arrow, indicating \( x \) can be greater than 11. This is not correct.

2. The second graph shows an open point at 8 with a rightward arrow, indicating \( x \) can be greater than 8. This is correct.

3. The third graph shows an open point at 11 with a leftward arrow, indicating \( x \) can be less than 11. This is not correct.

4. The fourth graph shows an open point at 8 with a leftward arrow, indicating \( x \) can be less than 8. This is not correct.

The correct choice that represents the solution \( x > 8 \) is:

**2. A number line is shown ranging from negative 2 to 18 with numbers listed in unit increments. An open point is plotted on the number line at 8. A rightward arrow is marked on the number line that originates at the open point and goes beyond 18.**
