You know that the value of P for A is < the value of P for D and so you can create and inequality and solve for one value of k.
You can create another inequality using the value of P for C is < the value of P for D, or another statement that is equally correct.

First find the co-ordinates of A,B,C and D and substitute them into the equation p=x+ky.
You know that the value of P for A is < the value of P for D and so you can create and inequality and solve for one value of k.
You can create another inequality using the value of P for C is < the value of P for D, or another statement that is equally correct.

Also in the model answer they piar it up like this, why?

Thank you so much for your answer. But how do you know to pair up A with D and C?

In answer to your second question, I think its just because that is the simplest way to gain two different values for k and so find the range. They paired up A and B, and C and D, as you only know for a fact that D has the largest profit and A the smallest, therefore you cannot create an inequality between B and C as you don't know the size of their profits in relation to each other.
I'm sorry if my explanation isn't very clear- I'll try and reword it.

Honestly, I paired those up as they were the first pairings to occur to me, but I don't think it matters which two you pair up as long as the statement itself is correct.

I see so are you saying its a bit of random pairing? It doesnt actually matter how I pair the coordinates up? I could compare say A with C and D with B? as this is what they have in the M/S.![Name: Capture.PNG

I believe you have to pair A and B, and C and D as a much broader range is produced when comparing A with C and D with B. I think this is because there is a larger difference between the profits and so a larger range of values k could take, however I cannot find an explanation anywhere.
I believe you would pair the points that would give the highest value for P and the two points that would give the lowest in order to gain the most accurate range for k.
I hope this helps, I'll carry on searching and see what I can find.
