Which description of the graph of the linear inequality y > 3x – 8 is correct?

The graph will be a dashed line with a y-intercept of negative eight and a slope of three. The graph will be shaded below the line.
The graph will be a solid line with a y-intercept of three and a slope of negative eight. The graph will be shaded above the line.

The fourth description is correct: a dashed line with y-intercept -8 and slope 3, shaded above the line.

Reason: y = 3x - 8 is the boundary (dashed because the inequality is strict), and (0,0) gives 0 > -8, so the region above the line is shaded.
