Question
The image is an educational exercise asking to find the area of a shaded region under the curve of a given function. The function is:

\[ y = \frac{x - 3}{x} \]

The graph represents this function plotted on a coordinate system:

- **Axes**: The horizontal axis is labeled \(x\) and the vertical axis is labeled \(y\).
- **Curve**: The curve starts near the \(y\)-axis and rises gradually, following the function \(y = \frac{x - 3}{x} = 1 - \frac{3}{x}\).
- **Shaded Region**: The area under the curve from approximately \(x = 3\) to \(x = 10\) is shaded in blue, which is the region for which we need to calculate the area.
- **Scale**: The graph is marked at regular intervals on both axes to facilitate finding the area under the curve. The \(y\)-axis ranges from 0 to 1, and the \(x\)-axis ranges from 0 to 10.

To calculate the area, you would set up an integral of the function \(y = \frac{x - 3}{x}\) over the interval from \(x = 3\) to \(x = 10\).
