Please see the graph, made using graphing software.

Work Step by Step

$x \geq -y$ To find the boundary line, replace the $\geq$ sign with the $=$ sign. $x=-y$ Let $x=2$ $x=-y$ $2=-y$ $-2=y$ Let $x=-4$ $x=-y$ $-4=-y$ $4=y$ Let $x=5$ $x=-y$ $5=-y$ $-5=y$ $(2,-2), (-4,4)$, and $(5,-5)$ are on the line. Use $(1,1)$ to determine what side of the line to shade. $x \geq -y$ $1 \geq -1$ is a true statement, so we shade the side of the line with $(1,1)$.
