Detailed Solution
We need to graphically solve the given pair of linear equations and find the coordinates and area of the triangle region.
In order to draw the graphs, we need to find out two points with their 𝑥 and 𝑦 coordinates that satisfy the equations respectively. We will do this by putting random value of 𝑥 and finding corresponding value of 𝑦.
For 3𝑥 − 4𝑦 + 3 = 0 or 3𝑥 − 4𝑦 =− 3, it can be written as
For 3𝑥 + 4𝑦 − 21 = 0 or 3𝑥 + 4𝑦 = 21, it can be written as
Now, putting these coordinates on a graph and joining and extending them will give us the equation.
On plotting the point, we get the graph as
Since the curves intersect at the point (3, 3), the solution of the equations
3𝑥 − 4𝑦 + 3 = 0 and 3𝑥 + 4𝑦 − 21 = 0 𝑖𝑠 (3, 3).
Hence, 𝑥 = 3 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑦 = 3.
From the graph, the vertices of the triangular region are (3, 3), (− 1, 0) and (7, 0).
The area of the triangular region is
On substituting the values, we get the area as
⇒ 𝐴 = 12 𝑠𝑞. 𝑢𝑛𝑖𝑡𝑠
(OR)
On replacing, we get
on solving for y, we get
On substituting 𝑦 = 3 in (𝑖), we get
⇒ 2𝑥 = 3(𝑥 − 5)
⇒ 2𝑥 = 3𝑥 − 15
⇒ 𝑥 = 15
Similarly, on substituting 𝑦 =− 8 in (𝑖), we get
⇒ 2𝑥 =− 8(𝑥 − 5)
⇒ 2𝑥 =− 8𝑥 + 40
⇒ 10𝑥 = 40
⇒ 𝑥 = 4
Hence, 𝑥 = 4 𝑜𝑟 15.
