One way is to make it into slope intercept form which is
y=mx+b
m=slope
b=y intercept or where the line will go though the y axis
treat the equal to or greater than sign as equals for now
5x-y=5
subtract y from both sides
5x=5+y
subtract 5
5x-5=y
put the sign back in
5x-5 ≥ y
reverse
y ≤ 5x-5
one way is to subsitute values and get values out so
if x=1 then
y≤5(1)-5
y≤0
(x,y)
(1,0)
(2,5)
(3,10)
(4,15)
(0,-5)
plot the points
then the ≤ sign
since ther is an underline, that means that the points are included so draw a solid line through the points
then figure out which side to shade on
the easy way is, is the point (0,0) a solution?
subsitute
0 ≤ 5(0)-5
0 ≤ -5
false so we shade the section that does not include the point (0,0) in it
the graph would look like this attachment
