Question

what inequality does this number line show?
-5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0
write your answer starting with x (for example, x < 3).

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the number line

The number line has a closed (filled) dot at -4 and the arrow is pointing to the left (towards smaller numbers). A closed dot means the number -4 is included.

Step2: Determine the inequality

Since the arrow is to the left (values less than or equal to -4) and -4 is included, the inequality is \( x \leq -4 \).

Answer:

\( x \leq -4 \)
