• Choice G

    The constraint is 3x+2y903x + 2y \leq 90 with x0x \geq 0 and y0y \geq 0.

    Find the intercepts of the boundary line 3x+2y=903x + 2y = 90:

    • xx-intercept: set y=0y = 0 \Rightarrow 3x=903x = 90 \Rightarrow x=30x = 30, giving point (30,0)(30, 0)
    • yy-intercept: set x=0x = 0 \Rightarrow 2y=902y = 90 \Rightarrow y=45y = 45, giving point (0,45)(0, 45)

    The inequality 3x+2y903x + 2y \leq 90 represents the region on or below the line, in the first quadrant. The correct graph shows the shaded region below the line connecting (30,0)(30, 0) and (0,45)(0, 45).
