Draw the straight line though #(0, -5) and (2, 0)#. Shade the region below this line, in the negative y-direction. Enter therein #5x-2y>10#.

Explanation:

Rearranging, #y<2.5 x-5#.

For any point (x, y) beneath this straight line that passes through
(0, -5) and (2, 0), #y<2.5 x -5#, and accordingly, #5x-2y>10#

,Draw the straight line though #(0, -5) and (2, 0)#. Shade the region below this line, in the negative y-direction. Enter therein #5x-2y>10#.
