Answer:

Third graph

Explanation:

First, find the solution to the equation of inequality given.

2k + 8 < 5k - 1

Subtract 5k from both sides

2k + 8 - 5k < 5k - 1 - 5k

-3k + 8 < -1

Subtract 8 from both sides

-3k + 8 - 8 < -1 - 8

-3k < -9

Divide both sides by -3. (Note: < will change to > when dividing both sides with negative number)


(-3k)/(-3) >
(-9)/(-3)

k > 3

The graph that will represent this solution will show that all values of k are greater than 3. 3 is not included as a solution. The "o" on top of the 3 on the number line won't be shaded to indicate that 3 is not included. And also, the arrow will point from 3 towards our right.

Therefore, the 3rd graph is the answer.
