Answer 1

Yes, 1 is an open circle on the number line. It is the number 5 on the number line, extended to the left.

Solving the inequality:
1 > x/5
5 > x (multiply both sides by 5 to get rid of the division)

On the number line, plot x = 5 with an open circle at 5 and an arrow extending to the right.
