Question -
Answer -
2x – 3y + 6 = 0
2x = 3y – 6
x =
Substituting some different values of y, we get their corresponding values of x as shown below:
Now plot these points on the graph and join them
Similarly in the equation 2x + 3y -18 = 0
=> 2x = 18 – 3y
x =
and in equation y – 2 = 0
y = 2
Which is parallel to x-axis on its positive side Now plot the points and join them We see that these lines intersect each other at (3, 4), (6, 2) and (0, 2)
Area of the triangle ABC, so formed

x base x altitude=
x BC x AD=
x 6 x 2= 6 sq. units
