Q Graphical solutions in LP have a limited number of decision variables. What is the maximum number?
What is the solution that the graphical method presents to the operations manager?
vThe decision variables of a LP can be defined as the variables those have the unknown value and can be used to make the decisions (Turban, 2015). In the method of graphical solutions, first each of the constraint has been drawn on the graph and then the optimal solution has been made from the graph. As the name suggests, each of the constraint in the linear programming can be represented by a straight line. The following is a general equation for the straight line:
