Here's one way to do it
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Solve the inequality for y
5x - y > -3
-y > -5x - 3
y < 5x + 3
2. Plot a few points for the "y =" line
I chose
\begin{gathered}\begin{array}{rr}\mathbf{x} & \mathbf{y} \\-2 & -7 \\-1 & -2 \\0 & 3 \\1 & 8 \\2 & 13 \\\end{array}\end{gathered}
x
−2
−1
0
1
2
y
−7
−2
3
8
13
You should get a graph like Fig 1.
3. Draw a straight line through the points
Make it a dashed line because the inequality is "<", to show that points on the line do not satisfy the inequality.
See Fig. 2.
4. Test a point to see if it satisfies the inequality
I like to use the origin,(0,0), for easy calculating.
y < 5x + 3
0 < 0 + 3
0 < 3. TRUE.
The condition is TRUE.
Shade the side of the line that contains the point (the bottom side).
And you're done (See Fig. 3).
