To graph -5 < x < -2:

- Draw a horizontal number line and mark at least the integers from -6 to -1.
- Put open circles at x = -5 and x = -2 (open because the endpoints are not included).
- Shade the segment between the open circles.

ASCII/Unicode sketch:
... -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 ...
○───────○
(shade between -5 and -2)

Interval notation: (-5, -2)
Set-builder: { x | -5 < x < -2 }
