Question

solve for x and graph the solution on the number line below.
answer attempt 2 out of 2
inequality notation: x > -5
number line:
-12 -10 -8 -6 -4 -2 0 2 4 6 8 10 12
click and drag to plot line.
submit answer

Explanation:

Step1: Understand the inequality

The inequality given is \( x > -5 \). For graphing on the number line, we need to represent all real numbers greater than -5.

Step2: Locate -5 on the number line

Find the position of -5 on the provided number line (between -6 and -4).

Step3: Draw the graph

Since the inequality is \( x > -5 \) (not \( x \geq -5 \)), we use an open circle at -5 (to indicate -5 is not included) and draw a line to the right (towards positive infinity) to represent all numbers greater than -5.

Answer:

Inequality Notation: \( x > -5 \)
Number Line: Open circle at -5, line extending to the right from -5.
