To represent the given inequalities in the number line, we must know the below rules.
1. If we have the inequality
< (less than) or > (greater than),
we have to use the empty / unfilled circle.
2. If we have the inequality sign
≤ (less than or equal to) or ≥ (greater than or equal to),
we have to use the filled circle.

Also we must know the meaning of two words "And & Or".

Represent the inequalities on a number line :
Example 1 :
x ≤ 7
Solution :
Let us represent the given inequality in the number line.
x ≤ 7
Since the given inequality x ≤ 7 (less than or equal), so we draw the line left side from 7 with a filled circle on the number line.
Example 2 :
x > 8
Solution :
x > 8
Since the given inequality x > 8 (greater than), so we draw the line right side from 8 with an unfilled circle on the number line.
Example 3 :
-8 < x ≤ 10
Solution :
-8 < x ≤ 10
Since the given inequalities -8 < x ≤ 10 (less than and less than or equal), so we draw the line from -8 with an unfilled circle to 10 with a filled circle on the number line.
Example 4 :
x ≥ −1 and x < 4
Solution :
Given, x ≥ −1 and x < 4 is a compound inequality AND.
Since the first inequality x ≥ −1 (greater than or equal), so we draw the line right side from -1 with a filled circle on the number line.
Since the second inequality x < 4 (less than), so we draw the line left side from 4 with an unfilled circle on the number line.
Now, we have to find the overlapping region(intersection).
Example 5 :
x ≤ -2 or x ≥ 0
Solution :
Given, x ≤ -2 or x ≥ 0 is a compound inequality OR.
Since the first inequality x ≤ -2 (less than or equal), so we draw the line left side from -2 with a filled circle on the number line.
Since the second inequality x ≥ 0(greater than or equal), so we draw the line right side from 0 with a filled circle on the number line.
Since we have OR, we combine all the solution of both inequalities.
