Answer:

y < 3/4 x

(We don't put another number at the end, if the y-intercept is 0, btw.)

Explanation:

We know that the line has a positive slope, because it's going upwards to the right.

(We can use rise/run to determine the exact slope: Just go up 3 units and to the right 4 units, starting from the first point. Now we know the slope is 3/4).

Further more we know that the y-intercept is 0, because that's the point in which the line crosses the y-axis.

We also know that since the line is dotted, the sign will be either < or >.

And the shaded area below indictes that y is lesser than, meaning we use this sign <.

Hope this helps you :)
