Question

graph the inequality below on the number line. $x>8$

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the inequality symbol

The inequality \(x > 8\) has a "greater than" symbol (\(>\)). For inequalities with \(>\) or \(<\), we use an open - circle on the number line.

Step2: Locate the number \(8\) on the number line

Find the mark corresponding to \(8\) on the given number line.

Step3: Draw the open - circle and the ray

Place an open - circle at \(8\) (since \(x\) is not equal to \(8\)). Then, draw a ray starting from the open - circle and extending to the right (because \(x\) is greater than \(8\)).

Answer:

Place an open - circle at \(8\) and draw a ray extending to the right from that open - circle on the number line.
