For inequalities on a number line, what does it mean when a point is open or closed?
r ≥ -5 Observing the given inequality, we see that all values of r are greater than or equal to -5. This means that the solution set lies to the right of -5 on a number line. Furthermore, the inequality symbol indicates that r=-5 is a solution, which we will mark with a closed circle on the number line at -5.
