Question

graph the inequality below on the number line.
y≥−5

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the boundary point

The inequality is \(y\geq - 5\). The boundary point is \(y=-5\). Since the inequality is \(\geq\) (greater than or equal to), we use a closed - circle at \(y = - 5\).

Step2: Determine the direction of the graph

The inequality \(y\geq - 5\) means \(y\) can be any value that is greater than or equal to \(-5\). So, we draw an arrow to the right of \(-5\) on the number line.

Answer:

On the number line, place a closed - circle at \(-5\) and draw an arrow extending to the right from \(-5\).
