Question

What are the characteristics of the graph of the inequality x ≥ -2? The ray will move to the left. The ray will move to the right. It will use an open circle. It will use a closed circle.(multiple answers) ​

Answer 1

Answer: The ray will move to the right and it will be a closed circle.

Answer 2

Explanation:

The inequality x ≥ -2 is graphed on a number line. -2 is the smallest possible value. All subsequent values are larger and therefore lie to the right of -2.

Thus, the following are true:

1. The ray will move to the right (because x begins at -2 and increases, which means moving to the right on the number line).

2. It will use a closed circle (because x = -2 is part of the solution set).
