A constraint with a positive slack value is not binding, meaning it does not limit the solution space of the optimization problem. In linear programming, the dual price (or shadow price) of a non-binding constraint is zero, indicating that relaxing or tightening the constraint within certain limits does not change the value of the objective function.
