Question

graph the inequality below on the number line.
$y\leq7$

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the boundary point

The inequality is \(y\leq7\). The boundary point is \(y = 7\). Since the inequality is \(\leq\) (less than or equal to), we use a closed - circle at \(y = 7\) on the number line.

Step2: Determine the direction of the graph

The inequality \(y\leq7\) means all values of \(y\) that are less than or equal to \(7\). So, we draw an arrow to the left of the closed - circle (towards the smaller numbers) on the number line.

Answer:

On the number line, place a closed - circle at \(7\) and draw an arrow to the left of \(7\).
