Answer

$-6 \le x \le -\frac{1}{2}$ Refer to the image below for the graph.

Work Step by Step

A bracket on the left means $-6$ is included in the set. A parenthesis on the right means $-\frac{1}{2}$ is not included in the set. Thus, the equivalent inequality of the given interval is: $-6 \le x \lt -\frac{1}{2}$ To graph the interval on a number line, plot a solid dot at $-6$ and plot a solid dot at $-\frac{1}{2}$. Then, shade the region between them. (refer to the attached image in the answer part above)
