Question

Which inequalities have the solution set graphed on the number line? Select two options.

A number line going from negative 6 to positive 2. An open circle is at negative 4. Everything to the left of the line is shaded.
x less-than negative 4
Negative 4 less-than x
Negative 4 less-than-or-equal-to x
Negative 4 greater-than x
x greater-than negative 4

Answer 1

Answers:
- x < -4
- -4 > x

Reason: The open circle at -4 means "not equal to," and shading to the left means "less than," so x is less than -4 (equivalently, -4 is greater than x).
