Answer:

x < 0

( x is less than 0 )

Explaination:

That open circle point means the answer will not be equal to, which would be options including <(less than) or >(greater than).

If the circle was closed you would use these symbols, ≤(less than or equal to) and ≥(greater than or equal to)

The open circle lands on 0 and the arrow points to the left into the negative numbers. The answer should be x<0 or x is less than 0.

A way to help remember less than vs greater than on a line like this is that the arrow points in the same direction as the symbol! For example, your question shows an arrow going to the left, and the symbol used for it is less than (<) which also looks like a left pointing arrow.

Hope this helps out! :D
