If the optimal solution of a linear program falls exactly on the intersection of two constraint lines, those specific constraints are mathematically referred to as:
Test yourself: pick an answer
Reveal answer & explanation
Correct answer: C) Binding constraints
Explanation
Constraints that intersect to form the exact corner point where the optimal solution is found are called 'binding constraints' because they actively dictate and restrict the final optimal outcome.
