Question

which describes the graph in words?
all numbers greater than -10 and less than or equal to 8
all numbers greater than or equal to -10 and less than or equal to 8
all numbers greater than -10 and less than 8
all numbers less than -10 and less than or equal to 8

Explanation:

1. Identify the left boundary: The open circle at -10 means the value -10 is not included, so we use "greater than -10".
2. Identify the right boundary: The closed circle at 8 means the value 8 is included, so we use "less than or equal to 8".
3. Combine the two descriptions to match the graph's range.

Answer:

All numbers greater than -10 and less than or equal to 8
