choose the inequality that represents the following graph.
-5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5
choose 1 answer:
a ( x < -1 )
b ( x leq -1 )
c ( x > -1 )
d ( x geq -1 )

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the graph's dot

The graph has an open dot at -1, so -1 is not included. This eliminates options with "≤" or "≥" (B and D).

Step2: Analyze the direction of the line

The line is shaded to the left of -1, meaning values less than -1 are included. So the inequality is \( x < -1 \), which matches option A.

Answer:

A. \( x < -1 \)
