Detailed Solution

The point of intersection of both the lines and with x-axis gives vertices of the triangle.
Given pairs of equations are

4 x − y − 8 = 0 … (i) 2 x − 3 y + 6 = 0 … (i i)

Now to determine the vertices of triangle formed by a pair of equations and x-axis
The graphical representation is:
Question Image

The point of intersection of both the lines and with x-axis gives vertices of the triangle.
As both lines intersect at

3, 4

and with the x-axis at

(− 3, 0)

and

(2, 0)

Therefore, the vertices of the triangle formed by a pair of equations and x-axis are

(3, 4), (− 3, 0) and (2,0)

.
Hence, option (3) is correct.
