Use the image to answer the question.
A number line ranges from negative 10 to 10 with numbers listed in unit increments. A closed point is plotted on the number line at 2.5. A rightward arrow is marked on the number line that originates at the closed circle and goes beyond 10.
What linear inequality is shown graphed on the number line? Make sure to write your inequality so that x
comes first.
Note: You will find the option to add a >

I cannot view images or any external content, but based on your description of the number line:
- The number line stretches from -10 to 10.
- A closed point is plotted at 2.5.
- There is an arrow extending rightward from the closed point which goes beyond 10.
A closed point generally denotes that the number at that point is included in the set. Since the arrow extends to the right beyond 10 (towards positive infinity), this indicates all numbers greater than or equal to 2.5.
Therefore, the linear inequality depicted is:
x ≥ 2.5
