Question

5. Which of the following inequalities could be modeled by the graph below?

A. x/2>−1

B. x/−2>−1

C. x/2<−1

D. x/−2<−1

Answer 1

The answer is C, x/-2 > -1

Explanation:

The inequality that the graph models is x < 2.

If you want the right side to be -1, then you would have to multiply both sides with -2. When multiplying with a negative, the sign of values on both sides are switched, resulting in x/-2 > -1.
