What does the word compound inequalities mean?
Compound inequalities is when there is two inequality signs. You will regularly graph compound inequalities on a number line.
Can you represent an irrational number on a number line?
Irrational numbers can be graphed at a number line, but only as an estimation.

How are linear equations and linear inequalities similar?
A linear equation corresponds to a line, and a linear inequality corresponds to a region bounded by a line. Consider the equation y = x-5. This could be graphed as a line going through (0,-5), (1,-4), (2,-3), and so on. The inequality y > x-5 would be the region above that line.
How do you graph -6 is greater than x plus 5 as an inequality on a number graph?
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.
