Question

1. state the inequality for x that is represented on the number line.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the number line

The number line has a filled dot at -5, and the line is shaded to the left of -5 (towards negative infinity). A filled dot means the point -5 is included.

Step2: Determine the inequality

Since the shaded region includes all numbers less than or equal to -5, the inequality is \( x \leq -5 \).

Answer:

\( x \leq -5 \)
