Answer

Interval Notation: (-1, 5] Number Line: Closed circle on 5, open circle on -1, the area in between these values on the number line is shaded

Work Step by Step

Because 5>=x>-1, 5 is included and -1 is not included in the number line. Therefore, the solution will include all values that are in between 5 and -1, including 5 but not -1. The interval notation uses closed brackets on 5 but open on -1, because 5 is included but not -1.
