Question

graph the interval represented in inequality notation on the number line.
$x \leq -3$
answer
attempt 1 out of 2
number line:
-12 -10 -8 -6 -4 -2 0 2 4 6 8 10 12
touch and drag to plot line.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the endpoint

The inequality is $x\leq - 3$, so the endpoint is $-3$.

Step2: Determine the type of endpoint

Since the inequality includes equality ($\leq$), we use a closed - circle at $-3$.

Step3: Determine the direction of the interval

For $x\leq - 3$, we shade to the left of $-3$ on the number line.

Answer:

On the number line, place a closed - circle at $-3$ and shade the line to the left of $-3$ towards negative infinity.
