Question

graph the compound inequality.
-692 < x ≤ -686
plot the endpoints. select an endpoint to change it from closed to open. select the middle of a segment, ray, or line to delete it.
<--|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-->
-693 -692 -691 -690 -689 -688 -687 -686

Explanation:

Step1: Identify endpoint types

The inequality $-692 < x \leq - 686$ has an open - endpoint at $x=-692$ (because of the strict less - than sign) and a closed - endpoint at $x = - 686$ (because of the less - than or equal to sign).

Step2: Plot on number line

On the given number line, place an open circle at $-692$ and a closed circle at $-686$. Then shade the region between these two points.

Answer:

Plot an open circle at $-692$ and a closed circle at $-686$, and shade the region between them on the number line.
