----------------
Graph the boundary y = -3
The graph of the inequality is the half-plane
BELOW the boundary because you want y LESS
than -3.
--
It does not include the origin.
It has an infinite number of negative y-intercepts.
The slope of the boundary is 0.

-3 is 3 below the origin so it does not pass through the origin
slope is undefined
graph circle around -3 with arrow pointed down
