Question

Solve the inequality below; Which direction will the graph go in and will the dot be open or closed? m+5>-1

Answer 1

The dot will be closed, and to the right from -6

Explanation:

We can rearrange
`m+5>-1 = -6 < m`

As it is only a < we close the dots. It must go to the left as m is greater than -6 - all numbers greater than a value will be to the right on the number line.
