Question

graph the inequality below on the number line. b < 2

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the boundary point

The boundary point for the inequality $b < 2$ is $b = 2$.

Step2: Determine the type of circle

Since the inequality is $b<2$ (strict - less than), we use an open circle at $b = 2$.

Step3: Shade the appropriate region

We shade the region to the left of the open - circle at $b = 2$ because values less than 2 are to the left of 2 on the number line.

Answer:

Draw an open circle at 2 on the number line and shade the line to the left of 2.
