Question

    If -5 ≤ x ≤ 3 and -1 ≤ y ≤ 0, then the minimum value of 2y – 3x is:

    A -8 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B -9 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C -10 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D -11 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The given expression 2y – 3x will be minimum when y is minimum and x is maximum. Minimum value of y = -1 Maximum value of x = 3 Minimum value of given expression = 2 × (-1) – 3 × (3) = -2 – 9 = -11
