Graph the the linear inequality
x>3
To graph the linear inequality x > 3, you start by drawing a number line. Then, mark the number 3 with an open circle to represent that it is not included in the solution.
Since the inequality x > 3 means that x can take on any value greater than 3, you shade the number line to the right of 3 to indicate all the possible solutions.
To indicate this on the number line, draw an arrow pointing to the right starting at the open circle on 3.
The graph of the linear inequality x > 3 will look like this:
---->
________
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 ... x
The arrow indicates that all the values to the right of 3 (including fractions, decimals, and negative numbers) are solutions to the inequality x > 3.
