A number line ranges from negative 8 to 8 in increments of 1. An open point is plotted at negative 5. An arrow extends indefinitely left from the open point past negative 8 along the number line.

Question

A number line ranges from negative 8 to 8 in increments of 1. An open point is plotted at negative 5. An arrow extends indefinitely left from the open point past negative 8 along the number line.
What inequality is depicted in the graph?

(1 point)
x

GPT-4o mini · Answer

The description indicates that there is an open point at \( -5 \) and an arrow extending indefinitely to the left. This means that the inequality includes all values less than \( -5 \).

The inequality that represents this situation is:

\[ x < -5 \]
