### Graphing Linear Inequalities

**Objective:** Graph the inequality \( y > \frac{5}{3}x - 3 \).

**Instructions:** Make sure to select a solid or dashed line as appropriate from below.

1. **Identify the Equation:** The inequality given is \( y > \frac{5}{3}x - 3 \).
2. **Graph the Boundary Line:** To graph the inequality, start by graphing the boundary line \( y = \frac{5}{3}x - 3 \). 
   - **Slope-Intercept Form:** Here, the slope (m) is \( \frac{5}{3} \) and the y-intercept (b) is -3.
   - **Plotting Points:** 
      - Start at the y-intercept (0, -3).
      - Use the slope to identify another point. Slope \( \frac{5}{3} \) means rise over run, so from the y-intercept, move 5 units up and 3 units to the right to reach the point (3, 2).
3. **Dashed Line:** Since the inequality is strictly greater than ( \( > \) ), use a dashed line to indicate that points on the line itself are not included in the solution.

4. **Shading the Region:** Shade the area above the dashed line, representing all the points (x, y) where \( y \) is greater than \( \frac{5}{3}x - 3 \).

5. **Result:**
   - The graph consists of a dashed line passing through the points (0, -3) and (3, 2).
   - The region above this line is shaded.

### Explanation of the Graph:
The coordinate system is a standard Cartesian plane with x and y axes marked from -5 to 5. The task requires plotting the given inequality.

- \( x \)-axis ranges from -5 to 5.
- \( y \)-axis ranges from -5 to 5.

By following these steps, you can accurately graph the inequality \( y > \frac{5}{3}x - 3 \) on the provided grid.
