Missing Part of Question:

Explain whether the inequality Jack writes is correct or incorrect. In your explanation, include a description of each value in the inequality in terms of what it represents.

Answer:

Jack is incorrect

Explanation:

Given:

Jack representation:
-10 < -15

Required

State with reason if Jack is correct or not

Jack representation of both elevation shows implies that -10 is less than -15

This illustration is incorrect because;

If the numbers are presented on a number line

-10 is to the right of -15

And numbers on the number line increases along the right hand side.

Hence;

We can conclude that Jack is incorrect because
-10 > -15
