-------------------------
The slope of the line, m, is -3/2, meaning y decreases as x increases. A graph on the typical x-y paper will be a line that goes from the upper left to the lower right.
The < (less than) area is below the line.
The type of line is whatever you draw, solid, dashed, purple, whatever.
