Which number line shows the solution to the inequality? y minus 2 less-than negative 5 A number line going from negative 8 to positive 2. An open circle is at negative 3. Everything to the left of the circle is shaded. A number line going from negative 8 to positive 2. A closed circle is at negative 3. Everything to the left of the circle is shaded. A number line going from negative 8 to positive 2. An open circle is at negative 3. Everything to the right of the circle is shaded. A number line going from negative 8 to positive 2. An open circle is at negative 7. Everything to the left of the circle is shaded.

Answer 1

see explanation

Explanation:

Solve the inequality

y - 2 < - 5 ( add 2 to both sides )

y < - 3

The number line going from - 8 to + 2

Since y is not equal to - 3 then an open circle at y = - 3

Since y is less than - 3 the shaded to the left of y = - 3
