Question

graph.
x < -56
to draw a ray, plot an endpoint and select an arrow. select an endpoint to change it from closed to open. select the middle of the ray to delete it.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the inequality

The inequality is \(x < - 56\). This means all values of \(x\) that are less than \(-56\).

Step2: Plot the endpoint

Since the inequality is strict (\(<\), not \(\leq\)), the endpoint at \(x=-56\) is open.

Step3: Draw the ray

The ray extends to the left (towards smaller numbers) from the open - endpoint at \(-56\).

Answer:

Plot an open circle at \(-56\) and draw a ray extending to the left.
