The inequality -6 > x+5 can be rewritten -11 > x (by subtracting five from each side) or rather x < -11.

To graph this on a number line, draw an open circle over the number -11 (if the inequality included "or equal to" the circle would be filled in). Then draw a line/arrow coming out of the circle over the number line. The line should only be drawn over the portion of the number line that makes the inequality true.

For instance, choose a test point. When x is -20, the inequality is true: -20 < -11. So in this case, the arrow coming out of the open circle will point to the left, in the direction that the number line is getting smaller.

There is no inequality that can be seen in the question. Please resubmit your question spelling out the symbols as "plus", "minus", "equals", "squared", etc.


Which graph is the inequality x squared plus y squared over 9 is greater than 1?

It would be easier to answer the question if there were any graphs to be seen. But since there are none, there is no proper answer either.


Why it is necessary to reverse the inequality symbol when multiplying both side of an inequality by a negative number?

You need to reverse the inequality symbol when multiplying both sides of an inequality by a negative number because you are changing the sign of both sides of the equation. Since inequality, such as "less than", means "to the left of" on the number line (where left is minus and right is plus) then a number that is less than another will be greater than the other if the signs were reversed. Example: 3 is less than 4, but -3 is greater than -4.

Find the graph of the inequality y -x plus 1?

"y - x + 1" is not an inequality. It is a simple expression. If you want something like "y - x + 1 &gt; 0" that would be an inequality. Rephrase and resubmit.

Is yx3cubed plus x2squared a quadratic inequality?

No. This is not an inequality, because you need something &gt; something_else, or less than or 'not equal' or 'greater than or equal', etc. Since it has an x cubed term, it is not a quadratic.
