Step 1. Line 3x+5y=453x+5y=45 has intercepts (15,0)(15,0) and (0,9)(0,9).

Step 2. Test the origin: 3(0)+5(0)=0≥453(0)+5(0)=0\ge45 is FALSE, so the required half-plane is the one not containing the origin -- the side away from the origin.

Step 3. Combined with x≥0,y≥0x\ge0,y\ge0, the feasible region is the part of the first quadrant lying on or beyond the line joining (15,0)(15,0) and (0,9)(0,9) -- an unbounded region.

✓Final answer

The unbounded first-quadrant region on/above the line through (15,0)(15,0) and (0,9)(0,9) (i.e. 3x+5y≥453x+5y\ge45 with x,y≥0x,y\ge0).
