with a line indicating the numbers above this. As mentioned before, when manipulating inequalities the rules are exactly the same as when manipulating equations - but with one exception.

Show the inequality \(y \textless 2\) on a number line. \(y\) is less than (<) 2, which means an open circle at 2 must be used. \(y\) is less than 2, so an arrow below the values of 2 must be ...
