Question

Which inequality represents the number line:

Number line with points marked for five, six, seven, eight, nine. The five point is marked with an closed circle pointing right.
x ≤ 5
x < 5
x > 5
x ≥ 5

Answer 1

[D] x ≥ 5

Explanation:

Let's answer choices be ABCD:

[A] x ≤ 5

[B] x < 5

[C] x > 5

[D] x ≥ 5

Note:

A closed, or shaded, circle is used to represent the inequalities greater than or equal to (≥) or less than or equal to (≤) .

An open circle is used for greater than (>) or less than (<).

Solve:

Since it given saying that "The five point is marked with an closed circle pointing right."

Thus, We know that it a closed circle pointing to right .

Hence, we know that [B] and [C] is wrong.

When it say pointing right = Greater than or equal to.

When it say pointing left = Less than or equal to

Hence, [A] is wrong.

Therefore, that left us with [D] x ≥ 5..

which is the correct answer.
