Answer

Option 2 is correct.

The right answer for which inequality this graph represents is

-1 < x < 4.

Step-by-step explanation

In graphing inequality equations, the first thing to note is that whenever the equation to be graphed has (< or >), the circle at the beginning of the arrow is usually unshaded.

But whenever the inequality has either (≤ or ≥), the circle at the beginning of the arrow will be shaded.

For this question, we can see that the circles at the end of the lines aren't shaded, hence, this indicates that the inequality that they represent is < or >.

Then checking the graph again, we can see that the line of the inequality covers the space between -1 and 4 indicating that it is referring to numbers that are greater than -1 but less than 4.

Hence, the right answer for which inequality this graph represents is

-1 < x < 4.

Hope this Helps!!!
