Draw the graph of 3x - 2y + 6=0 and x +2y -6 =0 in a graph paper and find the area is the triangle formed by these two lines and the x-axis
Given lines are:
3x - 2y + 6=0 and x +2y -6 =0.
Firstly, consider the line 3x - 2y + 6 = 0
The solution for the given line is:
x | 0 | -2 |
y | 3 | 0 |
Now. plot the points (0,3) and (-2,0) on the graph as shown below.
Now, line x +2y -6 =0
The solution for the given line is:
x | 0 | -6 |
y | 3 | 0 |
Now. plot the points (0,3) and (-6,0) on the graph as shown below.
Area of triangle =
=
= 12 (unit)2
