Question

What is the graph of the inequality

Answer 1

Answer:

Graph represented by option B is the correct choice.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an inequality $x\leq 5$. We are asked to find the graph of the given inequality.

Our given inequality tells that solution is any value of x less than or equal to 5.

Since our given inequality has less than or equal to sign, then the number line will have a solid dot at $x=5$.

Since the values of x are less than or equal to 5, so the solution of the inequality will be numbers less than 5.

Since the numbers on the left side of a number line are less than number on right side, therefore, the graph represented by option B is the correct choice.

Answer 2

The inequality "x ≤ 5" means that the value of x is going to be less than or equal to the quantity 5.

Because of this, the correct answer on the graph would be a filled in dot (meaning starting at that quantity, rather than one less or one more than), and an arrow pointing to the left.

The value of x could be 5, 4, 3, and so on. Any quantity lower than, and including, 5 is a possible answer for the value of x.

The correct answer is the 2nd option.
