Question

How would you graph the solution to 3x<-15?

O Draw an open circle on -5 and shade to the left.
O Draw an open circle on -5 and shade to the right.
O Draw a closed circle on -5 and shade to the left.
O Drawa closed circle on -5 and shade to the right.

Answer 1

Drawn an open circle on -5 and shade to left.

Explanation:

To determine if the circle should be closed or not:

If the equation has < or >, the circle should be opened.

Where to shade:

Since the x is on the left side of the equation, it's telling you to shade the direction that the sign is pointing at, which is left ( < ). If x was on the right side of the equation, it's telling you to shade the part where the sign is not pointing at.
