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.
