A number line ranges from negative 10 to 10 with numbers listed in unit increments. A closed point is plotted on the number line at 2.5. A rightward arrow is marked on the number line that originates at the closed circle and goes beyond 10.
What linear inequality is shown graphed on the number line? Make sure to write your inequality so that x
comes first.

Based on the description you provided, the closed point at 2.5 indicates that 2.5 is included in the solution set, and the rightward arrow suggests that the values of \( x \) extend beyond 2.5. Therefore, the linear inequality shown on the number line can be expressed as:
\[ x \geq 2.5 \]
This indicates that \( x \) can be any number greater than or equal to 2.5.
