Graph the inequality below on the number line.

b > -9

To graph the inequality \( b > -9 \) on a number line:

1. Draw a horizontal number line.
2. Mark the point at \( -9 \).
3. Since the inequality is strict ( \( > \), not \( \geq \) ), use an **open circle** at \( -9 \) to indicate that \( -9 \) itself is not included.
4. Shade the line to the **right** of \( -9 \), as the values for \( b \) are greater than \( -9 \).

Would you like a graph for this number line or any additional explanations?

Here are 5 questions related to this topic:
1. How do we graph an inequality with \( \geq \) instead of \( > \)?
2. How would we represent \( b \leq -9 \) on the number line?
3. What changes if the inequality was \( b < -9 \)?
4. How do you interpret compound inequalities on a number line?
5. What is the difference between strict and non-strict inequalities?

**Tip:** Always remember that an open circle means the number is *not included*, and a closed circle means it *is included* in the solution.
