Key Rules for Graphing Inequalities
Open Circle (○):
Used for < (less than) or > (greater than).
The number is not included in the solution.

Closed Circle (●):
Used for ≤ (less than or equal to) or ≥ (greater than or equal to).
The number is included in the solution.

Arrow Direction:
Points to the right for > or ≥
Points to the left for < or ≤.
