Answer:
(B)
Step-by-step explanation:
x is on the left side of the < symbol, so the shaded portion of the line will be on the left side of the boundary dot.
The boundary dot is plotted at the constant, which is 1/2 = 2/4. That plot is shown in selection B.
_____
Additional comment
I like to write inequality solutions using the < or ≤ symbols because the relative positions of numbers and variables match their relative positions on the number line. In this problem, we have x < 1/2, so the shaded portion of the line is on the left of the boundary dot, just as x is on the left of 1/2 in the inequality.
