Part 1
Choose the correct inequality that describes the graph.

1 answer

The graph you described has an open circle at -1, indicating that -1 is not included in the solution set, and the shading to the right indicates that we are interested in numbers greater than -1.

The correct inequality that describes this graph is:

\[ x > -1 \]
