Linear programming help please

I got the first sketch done but how do you maximise the profit and which is the objective Line, I thought to maximise the profit you would move the objective line away from the origin and the last remaining point neded to fully remove the obj, line from origin is the maximum profit but am not sure int his question as it doesn't specify which is the objective line
for the second question formulating the linear programming question do you have to take into account of the ratios,I'm not too sure

You maximize profit so that gives the objective line. Write the linear equation for profit (near the end of the question) and write it in the usual gradient - intercept form?
Write the constraints down as linear inequalities and the objective.
