The inequality x ≥ -2 is graphed on a number line. -2 is the smallest possible value. All subsequent values are larger and therefore lie to the right of -2.
Thus, the following are true:
1. The ray will move to the right (because x begins at -2 and increases, which means moving to the right on the number line).
2. It will use a closed circle (because x = -2 is part of the solution set).
For this one I'll do estimates. 271 estimated would drop down to 270. And 425 would bump up to 430. Adding 270 and 400 you would get a round number of 700!
