Answer:

A

Explanation:

In the inequality, you want to simplify it to get x on one side, and the numeric values on the other.

So, moving 9 to the other side, you get, 8x<-32

Then, you can divide by 8 on both sides to get x alone.

You get, x<-4.

From this, we can see that it should be an open dot at -4, and pointing to the left.

So, the correct number line is A.
