LINEAR PROGRAMMING
Linear Inequation with Two Variables : These inequations are written as ax + by > c, ax + by < c.
If any ordered pair (x1, y1) satisfies the above inequalities then these are called to be solution of inequations.
The graph of these inequations is as follows :

Making a Graph : For drawing the graph of an inequality, following method is adopted :
- In place of inequalities ax + by > c and ax + by < Write the equation ax
+ by = c.
- Make a table for the values of solutions of ax + by = c.
- Now mark the points obtained in the table and draw a This will be the graph of the equation ax + by = c.
- If the inequality is > or <, then the points lie on this line do not consider and line is be drawn dotted or
- If the inequality is ³ or £, then the point lie on the line consider and the line is to be made black (bold) or
- This line divides the plane XOY in two
To find the region which satisfies the inequation, we adopt the following rules :
- Select an arbitrary point which will be in either
- If the given inequation is satisfied then that will be the required region in which the arbitrary point
- If the given inequation is not satisfied then the another region is the required
- Lines in the required region are drawn or made
