I learned the Hertzsprung-Russell Diagram in Astronomy 101. Of course, it shows the spectral classes graphically. (For non-astronomy people.)
The mass-luminosity relationship is seen as the somewhat diagonal band from upper-left to lower-right. Of course, as one goes to lower masses the number of stars in each class gets more numerous because lower mass means longer lifetimes.
