$3 x + 1 = 0 y$ , $y + 2 x > - 9$

Step 1

Introduce slack variables $u$ and $v$ to replace the inequalities with equations.

$y + 2 x - Z = - 9$

$3 x + 1 = 0$

Step 2

Subtract $1$ from both sides of the equation.

$y + 2 x - Z = - 9, 3 x = - 1$

Step 3

Write the system of equations in matrix form.

$[\begin{array}{c} 2 & 1 & 0 & - 9 \\ 3 & 0 & 0 & - 1 \end{array}]$
