The graph of $ -4 \leq x \leq 4 $ on a number line represents a **segment**. This is because it includes all values of $ x $ 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.

2. What is the difference between a ray and a line segment?
3. How would the graph of $ x > -4 $ look on a number line?
4. Can a point ever represent an interval on a number line?
5. What is the significance of open versus closed intervals in graphs?

**Tip:** A line segment has two fixed endpoints, while a ray has only one endpoint and extends infinitely in one direction.
