To graph an inequality on a number line, we need to make note of two things: the direction of the inequality and whether it is non-strict.
p<3
Observing the given inequality, we see that all values of p are less than 3. This means that the solution set lies to the left of 3 on a number line. Furthermore, the inequality symbol indicates that p=3 is not a solution, which we will mark with an open circle on the number line at 3.
