Graphically, solve thefollowing pair of equations:

2=6

2– +2 = 0

Find the ratio of theareas of the two triangles formed by the lines representing these equationswith the x-axis and the lines with the y-axis.



Answer -

Solution:

Given equations are 2x+ y = 6 and 2x – y + 2 = 0

Table for equation 2x+ y – 6 = 0, for x = 0, y = 6, for y = 0, x = 3.

x

y

0

Table for equation 2x– y + 2 = 0, for x = 0, y = 2, for y = 0,x = – 1

Let A1 andA2 represent the areas of triangles ACE and BDE respectively.

Let, Area of triangleformed with x -axis = T1

T1 =Area of ACE = ½ × AC × PE

T1 = ½× 4 × 4 = 8

And Area of triangleformed with y – axis = T2

T1 =Area of BDE = ½ × BD × QE

T1 = ½× 4 × 1 = 2

T1:T2 =8:2 = 4:1

Hence, the pair ofequations intersect graphically at point E(1,4)

i.e., x = 1 and y = 4.
