Answer:

  D.  x < -4 or x ≥ 4

Step-by-step explanation:

You can eliminate choices A and B because the graph and the inequalities do not agree.

__

You can eliminate choice C because the first inequality tells you ...

  x < some value

That means the shading will be to the left of an open circle.

This is only shown in Choice D.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

You can work multiple choice questions several different ways. I like to choose the simplest, which often means you do not actually need to work the problem. You only need to be able to identify ...

  • answers that are self-consistent
  • answers that are consistent with problem requirements
  • answers that are consistent with numerical and geometric facts

Here, we can eliminate incorrect answers by throwing out those that are not self-consistent and that are not consistent with the problem statement.

__

If we were to solve the inequalities, we would subtract 7 from both sides of the first one:

  x +7 < 3

  x < -4 . . . . . . subtract 7 from both sides

and we would add 5 to both sides of the second one:

  x -5 ≥ -1

  x ≥ 4 . . . . . . add 5 to both sides

If you write these inequalities so the symbols point left, you have ...

 x < -4  or  4 ≤ x

This tells you shading is "outside" the segment between -4 and 4, and that there is an open-circle at x=-4. This is consistent with the number lines of choices B and D. However, these inequalities are <em>not consistent</em> with what is written in choice B.

Hello there ^ _ ^ <br><br> Can you help me please ? Please explain how you find the answer. Thanks!

It's C because for the perpendicular line, you need to construct cross points to draw it through.

- you start by drawing a random circle with F as the center, just as long as it intersects line DE
- Then you use the intersections of that circle to draw new circles starting at F.
- These new circles intersect at F and another point below DE.
- You draw the perpendicular line through F and the other point.
