See a solution process below:
Explanation:
First, solve for two points as an equation instead of an inequality to find the boundary line for the inequality.
For:
For:
We can now plot the two points on the coordinate plane and draw a line through the points to mark the boundary of the inequality.
The boundary line will be solid because the inequality operator contains an "or equal to" clause.
graph{(x^2+(y-5)^2-0.125)((x+2)^2+(y-3)^2-0.125)(y-x-5)=0 [-20, 20, -10, 10]}
Now, we can shade the left side of the line.
graph{(y-x-5) >= 0 [-20, 20, -10, 10]}
