What does an open dot on a number line represent?

Back

An open dot indicates that the boundary point is NOT included in the solution (used for < or >).

Front

What does a closed dot on a number line represent?

Back

A closed dot indicates that the boundary point IS included in the solution (used for ≤ or ≥).
