Algebra-1

To determine which graph represents the inequality x > -5, we need to understand what this inequality means and how it is represented on a number line.

 

x > -5 means that x includes all numbers greater than -5, but not -5 itself. On a number line, this is represented by: A line with an open circle at -5 and shading to the right.

 

To compare the given graphs:

Graph A

There is an open circle at -5 and the shading extends to the right.

This represents x > -5, as it includes all numbers greater than -5 but not -5 itself.

 

Graph B

There is a closed circle at -5 and the shading extends to the right....
