Question

graph the inequality below on the number line.
( y < -10 )

Explanation:

Step1: Identify inequality type

The inequality is $y < -10$, which means all values of $y$ are strictly less than -10, so we use an open circle at -10 (since -10 is not included).

Step2: Determine shading direction

Since values are less than -10, we shade the part of the number line to the left of -10.

Answer:

1. Place an open (unfilled) circle on the number line at the point marked -10.
2. Draw an arrow extending to the left from this open circle, covering all numbers less than -10.
