Number line with open circle on 5 and shading to the right.

Answer 1

The team needs at least 9 players, and there are already 4 signed up. This means that there are still 5 spots available on the team. Therefore, the correct graph would be a number line with a closed circle on 5 and shading to the right, indicating that any number greater than or equal to 5 is a possible value for the number of people who still need to sign up for the team.
