First graph,
-y=-%281%2F3%29x%2B5
simplifying,
y=%281%2F3%29x-5
.

.
graph%28300%2C300%2C-10%2C10%2C-10%2C10%2C%281%2F3%29x-5%29
Now choose a point not on the line and test the inequality.
If the inequality is true, the point is in the solution region.
If the inequality is false, the point is not in the solution region.
Choose (0,0). It's convenient.
-0%3C=-%281%2F3%29%280%29%2B5
5%3E=0
True so shade the region containing (0,0).
