    Solution:

    Give pair of linear equations 2yx=8.(1),5yx=14.(2)   and 2x+y=1  .......... (3)
    To find the vertices of a triangle graphically, we will solve the equations in any one variable and make the table for the values of coordinates.
    Solving the equation (1), writing y in terms of x and making the table for the co-ordinates.
    2y=8+x
    y=8+x2

    Plotting all the points on the graph.
    From the graph, it is observed that the lines taken in pairs intersect each other at points A(-4,2), B(1,3) and C(2,5).
    Hence, the vertices of the triangle ABC are A(-4,2), B(1,3) and C(2,5).
    Hence, option (1) is correct.
