$x=6$ : This line is parallel to the $x$-axis at a distance 6 units from it.
We see that the origin $(0,0)$ satisfies the inequation $x \leq 6$ So, the portion containing the origin represents the solution set of the inequation $x \leq$ 6
$y=5$ : This line is parallel to the $y$-axis at a distance 5 units from it.
We see that the origin $(0,0)$ satisfies the inequation $y \leq 5$ So, the portion containing the origin represents the solution set of the inequation $y \leq 5$

x = 2: This line is parallel to the x-axis at a distance 2 units from it.
We see that the origin $(0,0)$ does not satisfy the inequation $x \geq 2$ So, the portion that does not contain the origin represents the solution set of the inequation $x \geq 2$
y = 3: This line is parallel to the y-axis at a distance 3 units from it.
We see that the origin (0, 0) does not satisfies the inequation y ≥ 3 So, the portion opposite to the origin represents the solution set of the inequation y ≥ 3
