2. Graph each inequality on a number line: 5x + 15 < 0
1 answer:
Answer:
x < -3
Step-by-step explanation:
1. To put this inequality on a number line, we first must solve it.
Step 1: Subtract 15 from both sides.
Step 2: Divide both sides by 5.
2. Now that we know x < -3, let's graph it!
- Since it's less than, we make the number line point to the left, and we make the circle open.

lazy approach was with a graphic plotting program, but you can also calculate it. with the pq-formula.
p = -6
q = 9
x = -p/2 +- sqrt( (p/2)² - q)
x = -(-6)/2 +- sqrt ( (-6/2)² - 9)
x = 3 +- sqrt(9-9)
x = 3 +- sqrt(0)
x = 3 +- 0
x = 3
