The description you've provided indicates a number line with an open circle at 0.25 and an arrow extending leftward. An open circle at a particular point typically represents an inequality without the equality part (i.e., "greater than" or "less than" but not "greater than or equal to" or "less than or equal to"). The arrow pointing to the left signifies "less than." Therefore, since the inequality involves x and the arrow starts at 0.25 (exclusive) and extends toward numbers less than that, the linear inequality represented on the number line is:
x < 0.25
Use the image to answer the question.
A number line ranges from negative 10 to 10 with numbers listed in unit increments. An open point is plotted on the number line at 0.25. A leftward arrow is marked on the number line that originates at the open circle and goes beyond negative 10. A tick mark is placed at 0.25.
What linear inequality is shown graphed on the number line? Make sure to write your inequality so that x
comes first.
