Correct: The rewriting of $\min\{2x,5y\} = k$ for $k=5$ gives:
$$ \left\{\begin{array}{ll}
2x = 5 &\text{if~}5y\geq5\\
5y= 5 &\text{if~}2x\geq5
\end{array}\right.
\iff
\left\{\begin{array}{ll}
x = 2\tfrac{1}{2} &\text{if~}y\geq1\\
y= 1 &\text{if~}x\geq2\tfrac{1}{2}
\end{array}\right.$$
The corresponding graph is the left curve. The rewriting of $\min\{2x,5y\} = k$ for $k=10$ gives:
$$ \left\{\begin{array}{ll}
2x = 10 &\text{if~}5y\geq10\\
5y= 10 &\text{if~}2x\geq10
\end{array}\right.
\iff
\left\{\begin{array}{ll}
x = 5 &\text{if~}y\geq2\\
y= 2 &\text{if~}x\geq5
\end{array}\right.$$
The corresponding graph is the right curve.

Go on.

Wrong: Pay attention to the rewriting of $z(x,y)=k$: you probably interchanged $x$ and $y$.

See Example 1, Example 2 and in particular Example 3.

Wrong: Pay attention to the rewriting of $z(x,y)=k$: you probably forgot the restrictions.

Wrong: The $2$ of $2x$ and the $5$ of $5y$ do not provide the coordinates of the corner point of the curve.

See Example 1, Example 2 and in particular Example 3.
