To determine which graph represents the
inequality x > 6, we need to understand what this inequality means and how
it is represented on a number line.
x > 6 means that x includes all numbers greater than 6, but not 6
itself. On a number line, this is represented by: A line with an open circle at
6 and shading to the right.
To compare the given graphs:
Graph A
There is an open circle at 6 and the
shading extends to the right.
This represents x > 6, as it includes
all numbers greater than 6 but not 6 itself.
Graph B
There is a closed circle at 6 and the
shading extends to the right.
