To be able to determine the graph of this inequality, we'll start rearranging the inequality putting the "y" variable at the left side of the equation.


\begin{gathered} -10x\leq2y \\ (-10x)/(2)\leq(2y)/(2) \\ -5x\leq y \\ or \\ y\ge-5x \end{gathered}

Since the inequality here is greater than or equal to, this means that the shade is above the solid line.

This equation also has a slope of -5 and y-intercept of 0.

Therefore, the graph of this equation looks like this:
