Question

Which inequality represents the number line:

Number line with points marked for five, six, seven, eight, nine. The five point is marked with an closed circle pointing right.
x ≤ 5
x < 5
x > 5
x ≥ 5

Answers

  1. Answer:
    [D] x  ≥ 5
    Step-by-step explanation:
    Let’s answer choices be ABCD:
    [A] x ≤ 5
    [B] x < 5
    [C] x > 5
    [D] x ≥ 5
    Note:
    A closed, or shaded, circle is used to represent the inequalities greater than or equal to (≥) or less than or equal to (≤) .
    An open circle is used for greater than (>) or less than (<).
    Solve:
    Since it given saying that “The five point is marked with an closed circle pointing right.”
    Thus, We know that it a closed circle pointing to right .
    Hence, we know that [B] and [C] is wrong.
    When it say pointing right = Greater than or equal to.
    When it say pointing left = Less than or equal to
    Hence, [A] is wrong.
    Therefore, that left us with [D] x  ≥ 5..
    which is the correct answer.
