     (True) 
    Since is less than , we know that the arrow must point to the left. Every number to the left of on a number scale is less than .

  • Use the same method from part (a).

    A line graph, shaded on a number line, starts with a closed circle, on negative 6, with an arrow pointing left.

  • Solve using the same method from part (a).
