Math Problem Statement
Graph the inequality x ≥ 7 on the number line.
Solution
To graph the inequality on the number line:
- Identify the point on the number line.
- Since the inequality is , it includes 7. This means that you would place a closed dot (or filled-in circle) at 7 to indicate that 7 is included in the solution.
- Draw an arrow to the right from 7 to show that all numbers greater than 7 are included in the solution.
In summary:
- Place a filled dot at 7.
- Draw an arrow extending to the right from the dot to indicate that all values greater than or equal to 7 satisfy the inequality.

Tip: When graphing inequalities, always check if the inequality includes equality (≥ or ≤) to decide whether to use a closed or open dot.
