Graphing Inequalities on a Number Line

The video tutorial from Moomoomath introduces graphing inequalities on a number line. It explains the symbols used to express inequalities, such as 'not equal to', 'greater than or equal to', and 'less than or equal to'. The tutorial demonstrates how to graph these inequalities using open and closed points on a number line, indicating whether a number is included in the solution. Examples are provided to illustrate how to graph inequalities with single and compound expressions. The video concludes with a summary of the key points covered.

What does an inequality show?

• That two expressions are identical

• That two expressions are equal

• That one expression is a multiple of another

• That two expressions are not equal
