k so it has to be a number before -5 and a half

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):

okey dokeys. Can you tell me the number at where the circle is? See how there is a circle at one point on the line. Can you tell me what that number would be?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-7 i believe

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A closed circle means the value it lies on can be used in the inequality, and open circle means it cannot be the number it is on. In this case we have an open circle an -7, which means it cannot be number -7. The arrow and line show that the value is increasing, meaning anything greater than -7 will make the inequality true.
