Ok, so

We have the following inequality:


4x+y>5

First of all, we're going to solve the inequality for y.


y>-4x+5

Now, if you notice, there's a line which is the border of the graph.

This line ( y = -4x + 5 ) is not part of the solution because the sign of the inequality indicates that it is not equal, it's greater.

Therefore, the graph will look like this:
