ECZ 2015 · O-Level Paper 1 — Linear Programming
In the XOY plane shown, the unshaded region R is bounded by straight lines AB, AC and OB, where A(−2, 12), B(2, 12) and C(2, 0). Write three inequalities that define the region R.
- A. y ≤ 12, y ≥ 6x, y ≥ −3x + 6
- B. y < 12, y > 6x, y > −3x + 6
- C. y ≤ 12, y ≤ 6x, y ≥ −3x + 6
- D. y ≥ 12, y ≤ 6x, y ≤ −3x + 6
