Start with the line $y = x$ $y = x$ (linear, has slope 1 and crosses the origin)

Since we have a $<$ $<$ symbol (less than) rather than a $\leq or \geq$ $≤ or ≥$ sign, we use a dashed line.

The $<$ $<$ symbol also implies less than, so we shade the lower part of the graph rather than the upper half.
