4PM1/1/November/2025 — Question 5 · 8 marks

(a) On the grid opposite, draw the line with equation
(i) 3x4y=12\displaystyle 3x - 4y = 12
(ii) y+6+3x=0\displaystyle y + 6 + 3x = 0
(iii) 3y=18x\displaystyle 3y = 18 - x
(3)
(b) Show, by shading on the grid, the region R\displaystyle R defined by the inequalities
3x4y123x - 4y \leq 12
y+6+3x0y + 6 + 3x \geq 0
3y18x3y \leq 18 - x
(1)
For all points in R\displaystyle R, with coordinates (x,y)\displaystyle (x, y)
P=3x2yP = 3x - 2y
Using values from your graph,
(c) find the least value of P\displaystyle P and the greatest value of P\displaystyle P
(4)
Only use this grid if you need to redraw your graph.
