3 The constraints of a linear programming problem are represented by the graph below. The feasible region is the unshaded region, including its boundaries.

- Write down the inequalities that define the feasible region.
- Write down the coordinates of the three vertices of the feasible region.
The objective is to maximise \(2 x + 3 y\).
- Find the values of \(x\) and \(y\) at the optimal point, and the corresponding maximum value of \(2 x + 3 y\).
The objective is changed to maximise \(2 x + k y\), where \(k\) is positive.
- Find the range of values of \(k\) for which the optimal point is the same as in part (iii).
