Detailed Solution

Given equations are 4x-3y+4=0 and 4x+3y20=0 .
Put several values for one variable and get the value of its corresponding variable.
Put different 'x' in 4x - 3y + 4 = 0 values to find different 'y' values.
Put, x = -1.
4 1 3y+4=0 =>3y=0 Put, x = 2.
=>4 2 3y+4=0 =>3y=12 y=4
 

x

-1

 Put different 'x' values in 4x + 3y - 20 = 0 to find different 'y' values.
Put, x= 2.
4 2 +3y20=0 =>3y=12 y=4 Put, x = 5.
4 5 +3y20=0 =>3y=0 y=0

 Draw the graph with above obtained values.
 Question Image Triangle ABC is formed with the graphs of given two equations and x-axis.
Coordinates of triangle are A(-1,0), B(2,4), C(5,0).
We know that,
Area of ΔABC= 1 2 ×Base×Height Area of ΔABC= 1 2 ×6×4 = 12 sq unit
The correct option is (2).
