Need help to graph the inequality. MEDAL will be awarded!

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

\(\large 12.50x + 6.25y \ge $1500\)

First graph 12.50x + 6.25y = 1500. Use whatever method you prefer. Fastest is to find x and y intercepts, by plugging in y=0 and then x=0. Much slower is to solve for y, then graph using slope and y-intercept. Once you've graphed the line, do a point test with the original inequality to check which region to shade.

So I tried to simplify that inequality by dividing both sides by 6.25 to get \(y \ge 240 - 2x\). Would that equation be correct? And that is what I have graphed as well.
