choose the inequality that represents the following graph.
(number line with open circle at -2, arrow to the left)
choose 1 answer:
a ( x < -2 )
b ( x leq -2 )
c ( x > -2 )
d ( x geq -2 )

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the graph's endpoint

The graph has an open circle at -2, which means -2 is not included in the solution set.

Step2: Analyze the direction of the line

The line is shaded to the left of -2, indicating values less than -2.

Step3: Match with the inequality options

An open circle and shading left correspond to \( x < -2 \), which is option A.

Answer:

A. \( x < -2 \)
