Which of the following inequalities matches the graph? (1 point)

graph of an inequality with a solid vertical line through the point 5, 0 and shading to the left of the line

x ≤ 5

x ≥ 5

y ≤ 5

y ≥ 5

Answer 1

Answer: The inequality that matches the graph is x ≤ 5. This is because the graph has a solid vertical line at x = 5 and the shading is to the left of the line. This indicates that all values of x that are less than or equal to 5 satisfy the inequality.

The inequality x ≥ 5 would not match the graph because the shading would be to the right of the line. The inequalities y ≤ 5 and y ≥ 5 do not match the graph because they are not in the correct form. Inequalities involving y have a graph with a horizontal line, not a vertical line.
