the correct inequality is<em>"any rational number less than 9"</em>
<em>x < 9</em>
<h3 /><h3>Which inequality is represented by the graph?</h3>
Remember that when we have a number line, an open circle means that we can use the symbols > or <.
While a closed circle uses the symbols ≤ or ≥.
Here we know that we have an open circle at 9, ant everything to the left of the circle is shaded.
To the left of 9 there are the numbers smaller than 9, then the inequality would be:
x < 9
Then the correct option is <em>"any rational number less than 9"</em>
