Please help me graph the inequality?
2x + 5y is greater than or equal to 10
------------------
2x + 5y >= 10
-----
1st: Graph the EQUALITY which is the boundary of the inequality.
-----
y = (-2/5)x + 2
graph%2C400%2C300%2C-10%2C10%2C-10%2C10%2C%28-2%2F5%29x+%2B+2%29
-----
2nd: Since you want y > (-2/5)x + 2, shade the half-plane
ABOVE the boundary line.
===================
The graph is the boundary line and the shaded half-plane.
