Transcribed Image Text:**Graphing Linear Inequalities**
**Objective:** Learn how to graph the inequality \( y > \frac{5}{3}x - 3 \).
### Step-by-Step Instructions:
#### 1. Examine the Given Inequality
We need to graph the inequality \( y > \frac{5}{3}x - 3 \).
#### 2. Identify the Slope and Intercept
The inequality is in slope-intercept form \( y = mx + b \), where:
- \( m \) (slope) is \(\frac{5}{3} \)
- \( b \) (y-intercept) is -3
#### 3. Plot the Y-Intercept
Locate -3 on the y-axis and plot a point.
#### 4. Use the Slope to Find Another Point
Slope ( \( m = \frac{5}{3} \) ) means rise over run. From the intercept point:
- Rise 5 units up.
- Run 3 units to the right.
Plot this second point.
#### 5. Draw the Boundary Line
Since the inequality is strictly greater than ( \( y > \) ), we use a dashed line:
- Draw a dashed line through the two points.
#### 6. Determine the Shading Direction
For \( y > \frac{5}{3}x - 3 \), shade above the dashed line.
### Graph Details:
- **Axes Labels:** The x-axis and y-axis range from -5 to 5 in both directions.
- **Dashed Line:** Represents the boundary where \( y = \frac{5}{3}x - 3 \). (Note: Use dashed to show the inequality does not include the boundary line).
- **Shaded Area:** Above the line where \( y \) values are greater than \( \frac{5}{3}x - 3 \).
This detailed approach ensures your graph correctly represents the inequality, aiding in visual understanding.
