The graph below shows the inequality #x<3#.

Explanation:

enter image source here

All points that lie in the shaded area satisfy the equation #x<3#.
In other words, #x# can take any value less than 3.
#x!=3# or any number that is greater than 3.

Since there is strict inequality, i.e., #x<3#, the points that lie on the line #x=3# will not satisfy the equation.
Therefore, a dotted line is used to mark #x=3#.
