For this case we have that by definition, the line equation of the slope-intersection form is given by:
Where:
m: It's the slope
b: It is the cut-off point with the y axis
According to the statement we have:
Thus, the equation is of the form:
We substitute the given point and find "b":
Finally, the equation is of the form:
Answer:
Answer:
Option D.
Step-by-step explanation:
Minimize the objective function P = 5x + 8y for the given constraints.
The related equations of above inequalities are
For ,
x y
0 5
7.5 0
Plot (0,5) and (7.5,0) and join them by straight line.
For ,
x y
0 7.5
5 0
Plot (0,7.5) and (5,0) and join them by straight line.
Check the inequalities for (0,0).
False
False
It means both lines are solid lines and shaded region for each lies opposite side of (0,0).
From the below graph it is clear that the vertices of feasible region are (0,7.5), (3,3), (7.5,0).
Point P = 5x + 8y
(0,7.5) P=5(0)+8(7.5)=60
(3,3) P=5(3)+8(3)=15+24=39
(7.5,0) P=5(7.5)+8(0)=37.5 (Minimum)
So, minimum value is 37.5.
Therefore, the correct option is D.
