To determine the minimum value of the objective function $Z = -50x + 20y$ graphically, we follow these steps:

Step 1: Write the constraints as equations

The given inequalities can be rewritten as equations to plot them on a graph:

1. $2x - y = -5$ (from $2x - y \geq -5$)
2. $3x + y = 3$ (from $3x + y \geq 3$)
3. $2x - 3y = 12$ (from $2x - 3y \leq 12$)
4. $x \geq 0$ (non-negativity constraint)
5. $y \geq 0$ (non-negativity constraint)

Step 2: Plot the lines corresponding to the constraints

• For each constraint, we find the intercepts to plot the lines on the coordinate plane.

  1. For $2x - y = -5$:

     • $x = 0 \Rightarrow y = 5$
     • $y = 0 \Rightarrow x = -\frac{5}{2}$

  2. For $3x + y = 3$:

     • $x = 0 \Rightarrow y = 3$
     • $y = 0 \Rightarrow x = 1$

  3. For $2x - 3y = 12$:

     • $x = 0 \Rightarrow y = -4$
     • $y = 0 \Rightarrow x = 6$

Step 3: Identify the feasible region

The feasible region is the area where all the inequalities overlap, including the non-negativity constraints $x \geq 0$ and $y \geq 0$. This is where the solution lies.

Step 4: Locate the corner points

The minimum or maximum value of a linear objective function occurs at one of the corner points of the feasible region. We'll find the intersection points of the lines.

1. Intersection of $2x - y = -5$ and $3x + y = 3$: Solve these two equations simultaneously.

2. Intersection of $3x + y = 3$ and $2x - 3y = 12$: Solve these two equations simultaneously.

3. Intersection of $2x - y = -5$ and $2x - 3y = 12$: Solve these two equations simultaneously.

Step 5: Evaluate the objective function at the corner points

After finding the corner points, substitute their coordinates into the objective function $Z = -50x + 20y$ to determine the value of $Z$ at each point.

Step 6: Conclusion

The corner point where $Z$ is the minimum will give the minimum value of the objective function.
