With a closed circle on "-14/11" and a rightward arrow, accurately represents the inequality "-1/2m ≥ 7/11." Here option A is correct.

To determine which graph represents the inequality "-1/2m ≥ 7/11," let's first isolate "m":

"-1/2m ≥ 7/11"

Multiply both sides by -2 (note that multiplying or dividing by a negative number reverses the inequality sign):

"m ≤ -14/11"

Now, let's analyze the answer choices:

A - Number line with a closed circle on the point "-14/11" and an arrow shaded to the right. This represents "m ≤ -14/11," so option A is a valid representation.

B - Number line with a closed circle on the point "-7/22" and an arrow shaded to the right. This represents "m ≤ -7/22," which is not the correct inequality. So, option B is not correct.

C - Number line with a closed circle on the point "-14/11" and an arrow shaded to the left. This represents "m ≥ -14/11," which is not the correct inequality. So, option C is not correct.

D - Number line with a closed circle on the point "-7/22" and an arrow shaded to the left. This represents "m ≥ -7/22," which is not the correct inequality. So, option D is not correct.

Therefore, the correct answer is option A.

Complete question:

Which graph represents - 1/2m grater than or equal to 7/11

A - number line with closed circle on point negative 14 over 11 and arrow shaded to the right

B - number line with closed circle on point negative 7 over 22 and arrow shaded to the right

C - number line with closed circle on point negative 14 over 11 and arrow shaded to the left

D - number line with closed circle on point negative 7 over 22 and arrow shaded to the left
