b. Consider the following constrained maximization problem: 11 11 The objective function is: f(x,y) = x Maximize the objective function subject to the constraint 2x + 9y = 396 What is the slope of the level set of the objective function? (This is a fraction with an integer times y over an integer times x. The value in the numerator is negative.) What is the slope of the constraint line? (This is negative and a fraction with no variables.) What is the relationship between x and y? (The answer is a fraction.)
