"y>-2x+2 and y>-2x+5" are illustrated graphically by 2 straight dashed lines with slope -2. The lines are parallel because their slopes (-2) are the same. One line has y intercept 2 and the other has y intercept 5. The latter is above the former. Since both inequality signs are " > " we must shade the area ABOVE each of the 2 lines. The solution set is the area of the graph that has been shaded twice, once for y>-2x+2 and again for y>-2x+5. It's y>-2x+5 that has been shaded twice; this area is immediately above the line y>-2x+5.
