For inequalities on a number line, what does it mean when a point is open or closed?
x > 4 Observing the given inequality, we see that x is all values greater than 4. This means that the solution set lies to the right of 4 on a number line. Furthermore, the inequality symbol indicates that x=4 is not a solution, which we will mark with an open circle on the number line at 4.
