x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0
◦ Illustrative example 3:
◦ Identify the feasibility region by shading the appropriate plane.
◦ . 2x + 3y ≥ 6
◦ x–y ≥–1
◦ x≤2
◦ y≤2
Step 1: Set the inequality to equation.
E1: 2x + 3y = 6, E2: x – y = – 1, E3: x = 2, E4: y = 2
Step 2 and 3: Determine the x-intercept and y-intercept and shade the feasible region.
E1: 2x + 3y = 6 let x = 0, 3y = 6, dividing both sides of the equation by 3
3y = 6 y=2 (0, 2) y - intercept
3 3
let y = 0, 2x = 6, dividing both sides of the equation by 2
2x = 6 x=3 (3, 0) x - intercept
2 2
E2: x – y = – 1, let x = 0, y = 1 (0, 1) y – intercept
let y = 0, x = – 1 (– 1, 0 ) x – intercept.

◦ Illustrative example 4:
◦ Identify the inequality corresponding to each line of the following:
◦ Line 1 is a supply line and the shading is from
Y-axis
◦ the line going down.
◦ Therefore the symbol is ≥.
