Given equations are: 

2x-y-2=0 -----(1) 

4x-y-4=0 -----(2) 

Table for the equation (1): 

2x-y-2=0 

y=2x-2 

Question Image

Table for the equation (2): 

4x-y-4=0

y=4x-4  

Question Image

Now plot all the points on the graph.

Question Image

The triangle formed by the lines representing the equations 2x-y-2=0 and 4x-y-4=0 with the Y-axis is ABC

Consider ABC

AC is the base and BO is the altitude. 

Area of ABC=12×AC×BO

Area of ABC=12×2×1

Area of ABC=1 sq.unit

Hence, the area of the triangle formed by the lines representing the equations 2x-y-2=0 and 4x-y-4=0 with the Y-axis is 1 sq.unit.
