Question 1112477: Solve the given LP problem. If no optimal solution exists, indicate whether the feasible region is empty or the objective function is unbounded.
Maximize p = x − 7y subject to
2x + y ≥ 8
y ≤ 5
x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0
p=
(x, y) =
(I got (1.5, 5) as x and y and it was wrong)

The point (1.5,5) is where the two constraint lines intersect.
But the feasibility region is unbounded; there is no limit on how large x can be.
So there is no maximum value of the objective function p = x-7y.
