Consider the line whose equation is 2x – 5y = 10.

To find the points of intersection of this line with the coordinate axes.

Put y = 0, we get 2x = 10, i.e. x = 5.

∴ A = (5, 0) is a point on the line.

Put x = 0, we get -5y = 10, i.e. y = -2

∴ B = (0, -2) is another point on the line.

Draw the line AB joining these points. This line J divide the plane in two parts.

1. Origin side 

2. Non-origin side

To find the solution set, we have to check the position of the origin (0, 0) with respect to the line. When x = 0, y = 0, then 2x – 5y = 0 which is neither greater nor equal to 10.

∴ 2x – 5y ≱ 10 in this case.

Hence (0, 0) will not lie in the required region. Therefore, the given inequality is the non-origin side, which is shaded in the graph. 

This is the solution set of 2x – 5y ≥ 10.
