Question

graph the inequality below on the number line.
y ≤ -8

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the boundary point

The inequality is \(y\leq - 8\). The boundary point is \(y=-8\). Since the inequality is \(\leq\), we use a closed circle at \(y = - 8\) on the number line.

Step2: Determine the direction of the shading

For \(y\leq - 8\), we shade to the left (towards the smaller values of \(y\)) on the number line.

Answer:

Graph a closed circle at \(y=-8\) and shade to the left of \(y = - 8\) on the number line.
