Question

each part below, write an inequality to represent the given statement. then graph the inequality on the number line. (a) the elevation of a point of interest is 6 kilometers or less. use h for the elevation in kilometers. inequality: graph:

Explanation:

Step1: Translate the statement

The statement "The elevation of a point of interest is 6 kilometers or less" means that the value of $h$ (elevation) can be equal to 6 or any value less than 6. So the inequality is $h\leq6$.

Step2: Graph the inequality

On the number - line, we use a closed circle at 6 (because 6 is included in the solution set, due to the $\leq$ sign) and draw an arrow to the left to represent all the values less than 6.

Answer:

Inequality: $h\leq6$
Graph: Use a closed - circle at 6 on the number line and draw an arrow to the left.
