Answered by GPT-5 mini AI
To graph b < -4 on a number line:

1. Put an open circle at -4 (open because -4 is not included).
2. Shade (or draw an arrow) to the left from the open circle to show all numbers less than -4.

ASCII sketch:

<----o----------------------------->
-8 -7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0

Interval notation: (-∞, -4)

Examples: b = -5 or b = -10 satisfy; b = -4 or b = -3 do not.
