Solve linear equations and inequalities in one variable, including literal linear equations.

Translate between inequality, interval notation, and number-line graph

Problem

Convert \(x~<~4\) to interval notation and describe its number-line graph.

Big Picture

What this problem is really about

Inequality notation, interval notation, and a number-line graph must preserve the same three facts: boundary, inclusion, and direction. We’ll read strictness from the inequality symbol to set the endpoint marker and interval delimiter, then use the comparison direction to determine which values extend from that boundary. Matching all three features prevents a graph and interval from describing different sets.
