Question

Use the image to answer the question.

A number line with arrows at both the ends ranges from negative 10 to 10 in unit increments. An open circle is marked on the tick line above 4. A line is drawn from 4 toward negative 10 with an arrow at the end.

What linear inequality is shown graphed on the number line? Make sure to write your inequality so that x
comes first.

Note: You will find the option to add a >
, <
, ≥
, or ≤
symbol in the Comparison (<)
keyboard.

Answer 1

x < 4

Explanation: the open circle at 4 means 4 is not included, and the arrow/line extends left (toward negative numbers), so all x less than 4.
