Linear Programming:
A Geometric Approach
EGA
• MANY PRACTICAL PROBLEMS involve maximizing or minimizing a function
subject to certain constraints.
• For example, we might wish to maximize a profit function subject to certain
limitations on the amount of material and labor available.
• Maximization or minimization problems that can be formulated in terms of a linear
objective function and constraints in the form of linear inequalities are called linear
programming problems.
• In this discussion, we look at linear programming problems involving two
variables. These problems are amenable to geometric analysis, and the method
of solution introduced here will shed much light on the basic nature of a linear
programming problem.
Graphing Linear Inequalities
• A linear equation in two variables x and y,
has a solution set that may be exhibited graphically as points on a straight line in the xy-plane.
• There is also a simple graphical representation for linear inequalities in two variables:
• Before turning to a general procedure for graphing such inequalities, let’s consider a specific example.
Suppose we wish to graph
• We first graph the equation 2x 3y = 6, which is obtained by replacing the given inequality “<” with an equality
“=”.
Procedure for Graphing Linear
Inequalities:
1. Draw the graph of the equation
obtained for the given inequality by
replacing the inequality sign with an
equal sign. Use a dashed or dotted line
if the problem involves a strict inequality,
< or >. Otherwise, use a solid line to
indicate that the line itself constitutes
part of the solution.
2. Pick a test point (a, b) lying in one of
the half-planes determined by the line
sketched in Step 1 and substitute the
numbers a and b for the values of x and
y in the given inequality. For simplicity,
use the origin whenever possible.
3. If the inequality is satisfied, the graph
of the solution to the inequality is the
half-plane containing the test point.
Otherwise, the solution is the half-plane
not containing the test point.
