To graph the solution of 5 ≤ 9 - 4a, we first need to isolate the variable "a" on one side of the inequality sign.
5 ≤ 9 - 4a
Subtracting 9 from both sides:
-4 ≤ -4a
Dividing both sides by -4 (and flipping the inequality sign since we are dividing by a negative number):
1 ≥ a
So the solution to the inequality is a ≤ 1.
To graph this solution, we draw a solid horizontal line at y = 1 (since a is less than or equal to 1), and shade in all the values of "a" to the left of this line (since a is less than or equal to 1).
Here is the graph:
