Question

A number line with arrows at both the ends ranges from negative 10 to 10 in unit increments. An open circle is marked on the tick line above 4. A line is drawn from 4 toward negative 10 with an arrow at the end.

What linear inequality is shown graphed on the number line? Make sure to write your inequality so that x
comes first.

Answer 1

The description of the number line indicates an open circle at 4, which signifies that 4 is not included in the solution set. The line drawn from 4 toward negative 10 suggests that all values less than 4 are included in the solution set.

Thus, the linear inequality can be expressed as:

\( x < 4 \)
