Start by solving the inequality for r. You do this like you would solve any other two step equation:
<em>*Subtract 7 from both sides*</em>
r/4≥-1
<em>*Multiply both sides by 4*</em>
r≥-4
To graph this, you will start at -4. You need to determine whether you will draw an open or a closed circle at -4. An closed circle is drawn when the inequality is greater than or <u>equal to</u> (it includes the value at the circle).
Draw a closed circle at -4.
Next, you need to determine which way to draw the arrow. If it is greater than, you draw an arrow to the right; if it is less than, the arrow is to the left.
Draw an arrow to the right.
Hope this helps!
