Given the linear constraint
y=8.2x+2.7
categorize (-2.6, -18.62) as viable or non-viable
viable
non-viable
For a point to be categorized as viable, it means that it satisfies the given linear constraint.
To check if (-2.6, -18.62) is viable or non-viable, we substitute the values of x and y into the given constraint and see if the equation holds true.
When we substitute x = -2.6 into the equation y = 8.2x + 2.7, we get:
y = 8.2(-2.6) + 2.7
y = -21.32 + 2.7
y = -18.62
Since y = -18.62, the equation holds true and (-2.6, -18.62) satisfies the given linear constraint. Therefore, it is categorized as a viable point.
