Answer:

The first graph is the graph of the solution set of the inequality
-(3)/(5) x ≥ 9

Explanation:

If multiply or divide the two sides of the inequality by a negative number, then we must reverse the sign of the inequality

Example:

2 < 3, when we divide both sides by -1, then it will be -2 > -3

Let us solve the question


-(3)/(5) x ≥ 9

→ To find x divide both sides by
-(3)/(5)


-(3)/(5) is a negative number

→ From the rule above

∴ Reverse the sign of inequality

x ≤ -15

∵ We have an equal sign with the sign of inequality

The vertex of the arrow should be bold

∵ The sign of inequality is smaller than

The arrow must be pointed to the left ⇒ (negative direction)

∵ x ≤ -15

The arrow represents it has a bold starting point at -15 and pointed

to the left

The answer is the first graph
