Question

graph the compound inequality. -9 < x ≤ -8 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.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the endpoints

The endpoints are -9 and -8.

Step2: Determine the type of endpoints

Since -9 < x, -9 is an open - endpoint (a hollow circle). Since x ≤ -8, -8 is a closed - endpoint (a filled - in circle).

Step3: Draw the interval

Draw a line segment connecting the open circle at -9 and the closed circle at -8 on the number line.

Answer:

On the given number line, place a hollow circle at -9 and a filled - in circle at -8, then draw a line segment between them.
