Question

Graph.
x>–
238
To draw a ray, plot an endpoint and select an arrow. Select an endpoint to change it from closed to open. Select the middle of the ray to delete it.

Answer 1

To graph the inequality \( x > -238 \), you'll want to follow these steps:

1. **Draw a number line**: Start by drawing a horizontal line. This line will represent all real numbers.

2. **Mark the point -238**: Find the position of -238 on the number line and mark it with a point.

3. **Open circle on -238**: Since the inequality is \( x > -238 \) (not greater than or equal to), you'll place an open circle at -238. This indicates that -238 itself is not included in the solution.

4. **Draw a ray to the right**: From the open circle at -238, draw a ray extending to the right. This ray represents all values greater than -238.

The final representation will show an open circle at -238 and a ray extending to the right, indicating that all values greater than -238 satisfy the inequality.

If you have a graphing tool, you can create and modify the ray using the instructions you've provided:
- Plot the open circle at -238 (this is the endpoint).
- Use an arrow extending to the right to indicate all values greater than -238.
- Make sure the endpoint is open, and you can adjust or delete the graphical representation as necessary.
