Question

graph the inequality $x < 5$ on the number line.
select a tool below:
click on the number line to plot an inclusive point.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the type of inequality

Since the inequality is \(x < 5\), it is a strict inequality (not including \(x = 5\)). So we use the "Point (Exclusive)" tool.

Step2: Locate the number 5 on the number line

On the given number line, find the position corresponding to 5.

Step3: Plot the exclusive point and draw the line

Use the "Point (Exclusive)" tool to mark an open circle at 5. Then, use the "Line" tool to draw a line extending to the left from the open - circle at 5 (because \(x\) is less than 5, all values to the left of 5 on the number line satisfy the inequality).

Answer:

Use the "Point (Exclusive)" tool to mark an open circle at 5 and the "Line" tool to draw a line extending to the left from that open circle.
