Question

graph the inequality on a number line.
$s < 1\frac{3}{4}$

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the boundary value

The inequality is $s < 1\frac{3}{4}$, so the boundary is $1\frac{3}{4}$ (or $\frac{7}{4}$). Since the inequality is strict ($<$), we use an open circle at this point.

Step2: Determine the direction of shading

The inequality represents all values of $s$ less than $1\frac{3}{4}$, so we shade the part of the number line to the left of $1\frac{3}{4}$.

Step3: Match to the tool

Select the open circle with an arrow pointing left (the blue-highlighted tool), and place the open circle at $1\frac{3}{4}$ on the number line, then extend the arrow leftward.

Answer:

Place an open circle at $1\frac{3}{4}$ on the number line, and draw an arrow pointing to the left from this open circle to represent all values less than $1\frac{3}{4}$.
