Transcript text: What inequality does this number line show?
Write your answer starting with x (for example, $\mathrm{x}<3$ ).
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Analyze the number line
The number line has a closed circle at -6, which means -6 is included in the inequality. The orange line extends to the left from -6, which indicates all values less than -6 are included.
Step 2: Write the inequality
Since the number line includes -6 and all values to its left, the inequality can be written as:
\(x \le -6\)
