To graph the inequality \( x \leq 25 \):
-
Draw a number line: Start by drawing a horizontal line and marking several key points on it. Include the point \( 25 \) to the right of the origin, along with some other points if needed.
-
Plot the endpoint: Since the inequality is \( x \leq 25 \), you will use a closed circle at \( 25 \) to indicate that \( 25 \) is included in the solution set.
-
Shade the ray: Draw a ray starting from the closed circle at \( 25 \) and extending to the left side of the number line. This shade represents all the values \( x \) that are less than or equal to \( 25 \).
-
Label the graph (optional): You may want to label the graph with the inequality \( x \leq 25 \) for clarity.
Your final graph should look like this:
- A closed circle at \( 25 \).
- A solid line extending to the left from \( 25 \) to indicate all numbers less than or equal to \( 25 \).
