Question

Which graph represents the solution set of the inequality Negative 9 greater-than x?
A number line going from negative 13 to negative 7. An open circle is at negative 9. Everything to the left of the circle is shaded.
A number line going from negative 13 to negative 7. A closed circle is at negative 9. Everything to the left of the circle is shaded.

Answer 1

The first graph. -9 > x means x < -9, so values less than -9 are solutions — an open circle at -9 with the line shaded to the left.
