Question

Question:
Write the inequality shown by each graph and describe the solution in words. Part (a): a number line with an open circle at negative 3 and shading to the left. Part (b): a number line with a closed circle at 5 and shading to the right. Part (c): write a real-world situation that could be modeled by the inequality in part (b).

Reading and Writing Inequalities from Number-Line Graphs

This lesson teaches students how to translate number-line graphs into algebraic inequalities using open and closed circles and the direction of shading. Students also practice connecting inequalities to real-world situations.

In this lesson, you will learn to:
• Distinguish between open and closed circles on a number line and connect them to strict vs. non-strict inequalities
• Write the correct inequality symbol based on the direction of shading on a number line
• Describe the solution set of an
