Part 1
Choose the correct inequality that describes the graph.

1 answer

The graph you described shows an open circle at -3 with shading to the right. An open circle indicates that -3 is not included in the solution set. Therefore, the inequality that describes the shaded region would be:

\[ x > -3 \]

This inequality indicates that \( x \) can be any number greater than -3.
