The team will need at least 5 more players to make a team. This means that there could be 5 or more people that sign up. To show all these possibilities on a number line, you will draw a n umber line with a closed circle on 5 (includes the number 5 as an answer) and shading to the right (numbers are getting bigger). This shows 5 and all numbers greater than 5 being a possible answers.
