Question

5.The area of the triangle formed by the lines x-y+2=0 , 4x-y-4=0 and x-axis, is *

Answer 1

Answer

6 sq.units

Step by Step Explanation

To find : Area of triangle formed by lines so drawn and x-axis

x-y+2=0

if x = 0

so (0,2) is the solution

Now if y=0

Hence, (-2,0) is the solution

Similarly

4x-y-4=0

(0,-4) and (1,0) are the solution

Now as we can see from the graph

The coordinate of triangle formed by lines so drawn and x-axis are (-2,0),(1,0), (2,4)

Now as we know area of triangle is given by
