For this case, we find the equation of the line of the form:


y = mx + b

Where:


m = \frac {y2-y1} {x2-x1} = \frac {-3-0} {0 - (- 3)} = \frac {-3} {3} = - 1

So, we have:


y = -x + b

We substitute one of the points:
0 = - (- 3) + b\\0 = 3 + b\\b = -3

Thus, the equation is:


y = -x-3

Now, we substitute a point belonging to the region to determine the sign.

(
(0,0)\\0? - (0) -3\\0? -3

-3 is less than 0.

Then, the inequality is:


y> -x-3

As the border of the region is dotted, then it remains ">."

Answer:


y> -x-3
