Do you want to graph this on a number line?

Start with the given inequality:

Set up a number line:
note: just replace the x with the variable you are working with

Now plot the point on the number line

Now pick any test point you want, I'm going to choose y =0, and test the inequality

Plug in

Since this inequality is not true, we simply shade the entire portion that does not contain the point y =0 using the point as the boundary. This means we shade everything to the left of the point like this:
Graph of with the shaded region in blue

note: at the point , there is an open circle. This means the point is excluded from the solution set.
