Question

Graph.

x>50
To draw a ray, plot an endpoint and select an arrow. Select an endpoint to change it from closed to open. Select the middle of the ray to delete it.

Answer 1

To graph the inequality x>50, draw a number line, place an open circle at 50, and draw an arrow to the right from 50. This represents all values greater than 50. Label the ray as the x-axis.

Step-by-step explanation:

To graph an inequality such as x>50, you want to represent all values of x that are greater than 50. This is a one-dimensional inequality, so we'll use a number line rather than a two-dimensional graph. Here is the step-by-step process:

1. Draw a horizontal line to represent the number line.
2. Place a tick mark at the point corresponding to 50 on this line.
3. Since the inequality is strict (using > rather than ≥), we draw an open circle at 50 which indicates that 50 itself is not included in the solution set.
4. Draw an arrow starting at 50 and pointing towards the right to represent all numbers greater than 50. This shows that every number to the right of 50 satisfies the inequality x>50.

Remember to include a label on this ray to indicate the axis or variable you are graphing, such as x. Since the question mentions drawing a vector, if this was related to representing a vector on a graph, then it involves direction and magnitude. A vector going nine blocks to the east would be a straight arrow toward the right from the origin and can also be scaled accordingly if you're plotting on a grid.
