The given inequality is:

-5c + 2 ≤ 27

Subtracting 2 from both sides, we get:

-5c + 2 - 2 ≤ 27 - 2
-5x ≤ 25

Dividing by 5 on both sides we get:

- x ≤ 5

Multiplying by -1 we get:

x ≥ 5

Remember that multiplying or dividing by a negative number changes the direction of inequality symbol.

From the given options, the second graph correctly represents this solution.
