Question

graph the inequality below on the number line.

a ≤ -8

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the symbol

The symbol is $\leq$, which means a closed - circle.

Step2: Locate the number

Locate $-8$ on the number line and place a closed - circle there.

Step3: Determine the direction

Since $a$ is less than or equal to $-8$, the arrow should point to the left (towards smaller numbers).

Answer:

Place a closed - circle at $-8$ on the number line and draw an arrow to the left from $-8$.
