Find the slope m.
m = (1 - 2)/(3 - (-1))
m = -1/(3 + 1)
m = -1/4
Use the slope and one of the points and plug into the point-slope formula.
y - 1 = (-1/4)(x - 3)
Isolate y.
y - 1 = (-1/4)x + (3/4)
y = (-1/4)x + (3/4) + 1
y = (-1/4)x + (7/4)

Using Lagrange multipliers, we have the Lagrangian

with partial derivatives (set equal to 0)




Substituting the first three equations into the fourth allows us to solve for

:

For each possible value of

, we get two corresponding critical points at

.
At these points, respectively, we get a maximum value of

and a minimum value of

.
There was a total of 17.5 quarts of blood that was collected.
Hope this helps! :-)
5:4 i’m not quite sure but i think it would be 5:4
