See a solution process below:

Subtract #color(red)(5)# from each side of the inequality to solve for #c# while keeping the inequality balanced:

#-color(red)(5) + 5 + c <= -color(red)(5) + 1#

#0 + c <= -4#

#c <= -4#

To graph this inequality draw a solid vertical line at #-4# and shade the area to the left of the line.

The line will be solid because the inequality is less than or equal to and it will shaded to the left because the inequality is less than:

graph{x <= -4 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}
