The boundary equation of x+y<5x+y<5 is x+y=5x+y=5, passing through (5,0)(5,0) and (0,5)(0,5). Since the inequality is strict (<<), the line is drawn dashed, showing points on the line itself are excluded. Testing the origin (not on the line): 0+0=0<50+0=0<5 — true. So the solution half-plane is the one containing the origin. [!ANSWER] Dashed line through (5,0)(5,0) and (0,5)(0,5); shade the side containing the origin.
