Question 4 • Grade 7 Mathematics

Which graph represents the solution set of the inequality negative 14 point 5 is less than x ?

Answer

Image with description A number line ranges from negative 15 to negative 11 by one halves. Only integers are labeled. A closed circle is on negative 15. A ray is drawn from that circle pointing to the right.

Image with description A number line ranges from negative 15 to negative 11 by one halves. Only integers are labeled. An open circle is one tick mark to the left of negative 14. A ray is drawn from that circle pointing to the right.

Explanation

The inequality −14.5 < x means x is greater than −14.5. Since −14.5 is not included, the graph needs an open circle there, with the ray pointing to the right. Choice B shows that graph.
