Question

graph. x < -52 plot the endpoints. select an endpoint to change it from closed to open. select the middle of the segment, ray, or line to delete it. -55 -54 -53 -52 -51 -50 -49 -48

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the inequality type

The inequality is $x < - 52$, which is a strict - less - than inequality.

Step2: Determine the endpoint representation

For a strict less - than inequality, we use an open circle at the endpoint.

Step3: Plot on the number line

We place an open circle at $x=-52$ and draw an arrow to the left to represent all values of $x$ that are less than $-52$.

Answer:

Place an open circle at $-52$ on the number line and draw an arrow to the left.
