Start with the given inequality

Subtract 11 from both sides

Combine like terms

So the solution is

To graph the inequality, plot -7 on a number line (as an open circle) and shade to the left.

You first need to simplify the equation
Subtract 11 from both sides
x<-7

Since there is no y this is a vertical line perpendicular to the x axis. Draw a segmented line because the inequality does not include the value of -7. Everything to the left of the vertical line at x=-7 is shaded.

Solved by pluggable solver: DESCRIBE a linear EQUATION: slope, intercepts, etc

this equation defines a vertical line.

X intercept: -7. X intercept is the intersection of the line with the x axis.

Y intercept: not defined (the line IS vertical)

Slope: not defined, can be thought of as infinite
