Question

How do you graph `x>=-5`?

Answer 1

See explanation below as to why there are two possible answers to this.

Explanation:

There are two possible solutions for this graph depending upon whether we are graphing a linear equation for the coordinate grid of a two variable solution or if we are simply working with one variable on a number line.

For the linear equation on the coordinate plane the equation `x>= -5` the graph is a vertical line through `x` at `-5`. The line would be solid because the graph is both greater than and equal too, `(>=)`. We would then shade the region of the graph to the right of the line incorporating all `x` values greater than `-5`

For the number line, we would place a solid dot at `-5` because the value is both greater than and equal too `(>=)` and then continue a line on the number line to the right of that point incorporating all values greater than `-5`.
