If the representation of an inequality on a number line features a hollow circle with an arrow pointing
leftward, what symbol would be used in the inequality itself?

A hollow (open) circle means the endpoint is not included, so you use a strict inequality sign. With the arrow left you use "<".
Example: an open circle at 3 with arrow left is written x < 3.
