Answer

Please see the graph.

Work Step by Step

$\frac{x^{2}}{25}+\ \frac{y^{2}}{4}\le1$ This formula is for an ellipse, and this divides the plane into two regions--the inside and the outside. We pick the point $(0,0)$ to see what region this point is in. $\frac{x^{2}}{25}+\frac{y^{2}}{4}\le1$ $\frac{0^{2}}{25}+\frac{0^{2}}{4}\le1$ $\frac{0}{25}+\frac{0}{4}\le1$ $0+0 \le 1$ $0 \le 1$ (true) We shade the inside of the ellipse.
