Question

graph the inequality below on the number line. y≤ - 7

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the inequality symbol

The symbol is $\leq$, which means less than or equal to.

Step2: Locate the number on the number - line

Locate - 7 on the number - line.

Step3: Determine the type of circle and direction

Since it is $\leq$, we use a closed circle at - 7 and shade to the left (because values less than - 7 are to the left of - 7 on the number - line).

Answer:

Use a closed circle at - 7 and shade the number - line to the left of - 7.
