### Number Line Visualizations

To enhance understanding of set notation and intervals, draw a number line for each of the following cases:

**a) \( x \in (-6, 2) \)**

This represents all real numbers \( x \) between -6 and 2, not including -6 and 2. On the number line, this is indicated by an interval starting just after -6 and ending just before 2.

**b) \( \{ x \in R : x > 3 \} \)**

This represents all real numbers \( x \) that are greater than 3. On the number line, this starts just after 3 and extends infinitely to the right.

**c) \( y \in Z \text{ and } [-3, 7) \)**

This represents all integers \( y \) within the closed interval from -3 to 7, not including 7. On the number line, this includes -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.

**d) \( \{ x \in N : x \ge -2 \} \)**

This represents all natural numbers \( x \) (which are typically positive whole numbers starting from 1). Since the interval \( x \ge -2 \) refers to values greater than or equal to -2, but natural numbers start from 1, this interval does **not have valid natural numbers** because natural numbers do not include negative numbers or zero.

**e) \( \{ x \in R : -4 < x \le 5 \} \)**

This represents all real numbers \( x \) which are greater than -4 and less than or equal to 5. On the number line, this starts just after -4 and ends at the value of 5 including 5.

### Visualization Explanation

To visualize each interval:

1. **Identify the interval limits (both open and closed) on the number line.**
2. **Use an open circle to indicate that a number is not included (for example, -6 in case a).**
3. **Use a closed circle to indicate that a number is included (for example, 5 in case e).**
4. **Shade the region between the circles to indicate all the numbers included in the interval (for example, between -6 and 2 in case
