Math Problem Statement
Does the graph of $-4\le x\le4$ on a number line represent a segment, ray, point¸ or line? Responses
point point
ray ray
segment segment
line
Solution
The graph of on a number line represents a segment. This is because it includes all values of between -4 and 4, and both endpoints, -4 and 4, are included (since the inequalities are "less than or equal to"). A segment is a part of a line that has two definite endpoints.
