Explanation:

first, we define the line.

the slope is -3 (as for every increase of x by 1 unit, y changes by -3 units, which makes the slope -3/1 = -3).

the y-intercept is 2.

so, the line is

y = -3x + 2

now the graph shows that we need to define all y values that are below (and that means smaller than) the result values of the line function.

the line is not included.

therefore the inequality is

y < -3x + 2 or 3x + y < 2
