The number line shows inequalities by using different symbols to represent relationships between two numbers.
For example, if we have the inequality x > 3, this means that x is greater than 3. On the number line, this inequality would be represented by an open circle at 3 and a line extending to the right to show all the values greater than 3.
Similarly, if we have the inequality x < -2, this means that x is less than -2. On the number line, this inequality would be represented by an open circle at -2 and a line extending to the left to show all the values less than -2.
The number line can also be used to represent inequalities such as x ≤ 5 (x is less than or equal to 5), x ≥ -4 (x is greater than or equal to -4), etc.
what inequality does the number line show? Use "x" for the variable. (1 point)
