To determine which inequality matches the graph, we need to consider the characteristics of the graph of the inequality.

  • If the graph shows a solid dot or closed circle on 5 and the shading is to the right (indicating values greater than or equal to 5), then the correct inequality is:

    • x ≥ 5 (x is greater than or equal to 5)
  • If the graph shows a hollow dot or open circle at 5 and the shading is to the right (indicating values greater than 5), then the correct inequality is:

    • x > 5 (x is greater than 5)
  • If the graph shows a solid dot or closed circle at 5 and the shading is to the left (indicating values less than or equal to 5), then the correct inequality is:

    • x ≤ 5
  • If the graph shows a hollow dot or open circle at 5 and the shading is to the left (indicating values less than 5), then the correct inequality is:

    • x < 5

Without seeing the graph, it's difficult to provide the specific inequality, but you can determine which response correctly matches your graph based on the descriptions above.
