Algebra-1

To determine which graph represents the inequality x < -4, we need to understand what this inequality means and how it is represented on a number line.

 

x < -4 means that x includes all numbers less than -4, but not -4 itself. On a number line, this is represented by: A line with an open circle at -4 and shading to the left.

 

To compare the given graphs:

Graph A

There is an open circle at -4 and the shading extends to the right.

This represents x > -4, as it includes all numbers greater than -4 but not -4 itself.

 

Graph B

There is a closed circle at -4 and the shading extends to the right. <...
