Problem 36.
:
2x + 5y > 10 (the greater than sign is underlined)
:
That means:
2x + 5y >= 10
:
Put it in the general {y=) form in order to graph it:
2x + 5y >= 10
5y >= -2x + 10; subtracted 2x from both sides
y >= (-2/5)x + 10/5
y >= (-2/5)x + 2
:
Plot x = -5; x = 0; x = +5 and find y for each
:
x | y
-------
-5 |+4
0 |+2
+5 | 0
Graph should look like this:
+graph%28+300%2C+200%2C+-6%2C+6%2C+-6%2C+6%2C+-.4x%2B2%29+
:
">=" means the area of feasibility is at or above the line
