Since Jenna caught x fireflies and Dexter caught 9 fireflies (which is fewer), we know that x must be greater than 9. So, the points that could represent the number of fireflies Jenna caught would be any number greater than 9 on the number line.
Visually, this would be represented as a line segment starting at 9 and extending infinitely to the right.
Jenna caught x fireflies in the park.
Dexter caught 9 fireflies, which is fewer than the number of fireflies Jenna caught.
On the number line, plot the points that could represent the number of fireflies Jenna caught in the park.
