The given inequality is


x+5\ge0

Consider the equation


x+5=0


x=-5

Mark the point (-5,0) on the graph and draw a vertical line.

we get the graph of the line x=-5.

The graph is

Now take the point (0,0) which does not lie on the line.

Substitute x=0 in the inequality, we get


0+5\ge0


5\ge0

It is true, so the point (0,0) lies in the given inequality. so shade the right side of the line.

The graph is
