Which number line shows the graph of negative 2 point 7 5 is less than x ?

Answer

A

Image with description A number line ranges from negative 3 to 3 by one halves. Only integers are labeled. A closed circle is halfway between negative 3 and one tick mark to the right. A ray is drawn from that circle pointing to the right.

B

Image with description A number line ranges from negative 3 to 3 by one halves. Only integers are labeled. An open circle is halfway between negative 3 and one tick mark to the right. A ray is drawn from that circle pointing to the right.

C

Image with description A number line ranges from negative 3 to 3 by one halves. Only integers are labeled. A closed circle is halfway between negative 3 and one tick mark to the right. A ray is drawn from that circle pointing to the left.

D

Image with description A number line ranges from negative 3 to 3 by one halves. Only integers are labeled. An open circle is halfway between negative 3 and one tick mark to the right. A ray is drawn from that circle pointing to the left.

Explanation

The inequality −2.75 < x means x is greater than −2.75. Since the inequality is strict, the point at −2.75 is shown with an open circle, and values greater than it extend to the right. Choice B shows an open circle at −2.75 with a ray pointing right.
