To graph an inequality on a number line, we need to make note of two things: the direction of the inequality and whether it is strict.
x > 5
Observing the given inequality, we see that all values of x are greater than 5. This means that the solution set lies to the right of 5 on a number line. Furthermore, the inequality symbol indicates that x=5 is not a solution, which we will mark with an open circle on the number line at 5.
