Detailed Solution

Let assume that A(2, -2), B(4, 5) and C=(6, 2)
Now, we will draw the points on the axes and get the triangle ABC as shown in the figure:

Now, we will find the equation of line AB,
yy1=y2y1x2x1xx1
Where, A(2,2)=Ax1,y1 and B(4,5)=Bx2,y2
y(2)=5(2)42(x2)y+2=5+22(x2)y+2=72(x2)27y+2×27=x227y+47=x2x=27y+47+2x=27y+187x=27(y+9)
Similarly, Equation of BC and AC are respectively x=23(y11) and x=y+4
From the graph,
Area of Δ𝐴𝐵𝐶=22(y+4)dy+2325(y11)dy2527(y+9)dy
=12(y+4)222+2312(y11)2252712(y+9)225=12(2+4)2(2+4)2+2312(511)2(211)22712(5+9)2(2+9)2
=12622213(6)2(9)21714272=12(364)13(3681)17(19649)=12(32)13(45)17(147)=16+1521=10
Therefore, area of the region bounded by the triangle is 10 units.
