Try it on paper first. A hint, the key idea and the worked solution are here when you need them.
Two boundary lines of a feasible region are and . Find the point where they meet. Check your answer in both equations.
A corner point is a feasible meeting point of two boundary lines. List every boundary line, including and . Solve each pair, and keep a solution only if it obeys every inequality.
Have you tried it?
Work it out on paper first. It is fine to get stuck or make a mistake: that is how we learn. When you are ready, go through the solution one step at a time, and check each step against your own.
Step 1. Eliminate . Multiply the first equation by : . Subtract to get , so .
Step 2. Find . , so .
Step 3. Check. and . Both are true.
Answer: the lines meet at .
