Question: For the linear program Max 6X + 7Y s.t. X 6 2X + 3Y 18 X + Y 7 X, Y 0 The constraints are

For the linear program

Max

6X + 7Y

s.t.

X 6

2X + 3Y 18

X + Y 7

X, Y 0

The constraints are sketched in the below plot (note that this plot is a sketch without 100% accuracy so it is possible the points are slightly derive from the corresponding coordinate).

a. (10 points) In the above plot, which points are the extreme points (among point A to Point I)?

b. (20 points) Among Point A to Point I, which one is the optimal solution? x=? y=? What is the objective function value at the optimal solution?

c. (19 points) Write the model in standard form. What are the values of the slack/surplus variables?

d. (bonus 5 points) If the objective function is Min x-y, which point (among Point A to Point I) will be the optimal solution?
