Based on your description of the graph, it seems that you have a number line with an arrow starting at -8 and an open circle at -5.
- The open circle at -5 indicates that -5 is not included in the solution set, which suggests that the inequality will be strict (using "less than" or "greater than," not inclusive).
- The arrow starting at -8 suggests that the values to the left of -8 are included in the solution set.
Given this information, the depicted inequality can be written as:
\[ x < -5 \]
And since the starting point is -8, it may imply that:
\[ x < -5 , \text{and} , x \geq -8 \]
However, since you did not mention a second boundary or closed circle other than -5, the primary inequality based on your description is:
\[ x < -5 \]
If there are any additional details or context, feel free to provide them!
