A number line ranges from negative 12 to 0 in increments of 1. A closed point is plotted at negative 7. An arrow extends indefinitely left from the closed point past negative 12 along the number line.

The number line indicates that there is a closed point at \(-7\) and an arrow extending indefinitely to the left, which represents all numbers less than or equal to \(-7\). Therefore, the correct inequality that the number line graph represents is:
x ≤ -7 (x less than or equal to negative 7).
