Concept understanding — Graphical Method of Solving an LPP

A two-variable LPP is solved geometrically: for each constraint px+qy≤Hpx+qy\le H (or ≥\ge), the boundary line px+qy=Hpx+qy=H is plotted via its intercepts x=H/p, y=H/qx=H/p,\ y=H/q, a test point (usually the origin) decides which half-plane satisfies the inequality, and the region common to every required half-plane -- together with x≥0, y≥0x\ge0,\ y\ge0 -- is shaded as the feasible region. Its corner points are found by solving pairs of boundary equations simultaneously; at each axis, the SMALLER …
