What inequality does this number line show?

Question

Write your answer starting with x
(for example, x
<
3
).
-7, -6, -5, -4, -3, -2
closed dot at -4

Answer 1

The closed dot at -4 indicates that -4 is included in the solution set. Since the number line extends to the left from -4, the inequality represents all numbers less than or equal to -4.

Therefore, the inequality shown by the number line is:

\[ x \leq -4 \]
