A coordinate plane shows both the axes ranging from negative 12 to 12 in increments of 1. Two points are plotted on the graph and connected with a line. A line connects an open point at left parenthesis negative 5 comma negative 4 right parenthesis, and a closed point at left parenthesis 8 comma 2 right parenthesis.
Describe the domain of the linear function on the graph.

To describe the domain of the linear function represented on the graph, we need to consider the x-coordinates of the points plotted. The open point at \((-5, -4)\) indicates that the value \(-5\) is not included in the domain, while the closed point at \((8, 2)\) indicates that the value \(8\) is included.
Thus, the domain can be expressed as:
\[ -5 < x \leq 8 \]
This corresponds to the option:
−5<x≤8
negative 5 less than x less than or equal to 8
