Answer:

A number line going from 27 to 37. An open circle is at 32. Everything to the right of the circle is shaded

Explanation:

(-1/2)p < -16

p > 32 . . . . . . multiply by -2; this reverses the inequality symbol

The open circle will be at 32; the line will be shaded for higher values (to the right).
