The next step is to draw in the vector representing the gradient of the objective function. This vector may be placed anywhere on your graph, but it is often convenient to draw it emanating from the origin. Since the objective function has the form f(x 1,x 2)=c 1x 1 +c 2x 2, the gradient of f is the same at every point in R2; rf(x 1,x 2)= c 1 c 2 .
