Hello! :)

Answer:

D. x≤-2

*The answer must have a negative sign and less than or equal to.*

Explanation:

Lesson: It's about the graphing inequalities

An inequality is a statement that compares mathematical expressions that are not equal. The expressions are separated by an inequality symbol (<,>, ≤, ≥, or ≠).

The arrow points to the left. The circle is closed.

Hope this helps!

Have a nice day! :)

Thanks!

Answer:

D) x ≤ -2

Explanation:

The dot is at -2 = -2

the dot is filled in = ≤ or ≥ because its means equal too

think of ≤ or ≥ like arrows = it points left.

so its x ≤ -2


Note on using the ≤ or ≥ like pointing arrows

this only works if its written:

variable < constant form,

which is the way they are usually seen, like x < 5

but it could be 5 > x which means the > points the opposite way
