Question

Select the correct option that repesents $y\le -3$ in the number line.

• A.
• B.

Answer 1

The correct option is A

$y\le -3$ represents $y$ is less than or equal to $-3$.
$\Rightarrow$ To represent this in a number line we start from $-3$ and move leftwards.

Here, $y$ can take the value of $-3$ or any value that is less than $-3$.

Hence, $-3$ is included in the possible values of $y$. It is denoted as a closed circle at $-3$.
