When applying the simplex method, you must re-write the objective function as a linear equation equal to 0. If that equation has positive coefficients, then... the pivot column will be the first column. the origin yields the best solution. the pivot row will be the first row. the pivot column and pivot row are the same.

In the Simplex Method we select the pivot column by choosing the negative number with the largest magnitude in the bottom row. If all the numbers in the bottom row are zero or positive, then we are finished pivoting. Why are we finished pivoting if all the numbers in the bottom row are zero or positive?
