Question

Draw the graph of the equation 4x - 3y + 12 = 0.
Also, find the area of the triangle formed by the line drawn and the coordinate axes.

Graph

Solution

4x - 3y + 12 = 0
⇒ 4x = 3y - 12

⇒ x = `(3y - 12)/(4)`
Corresponding values of x and y can be tabulated as follows :

X -3 -1.5 0
Y 0 2 4

Plotting the points (-3, 0), (-1.5, 2) and (0, 4),
We get the following graph :

Area of ΔOAB = `(1)/(2)` x OB x OA

= `(1)/(2) xx 3 xx 4`

= 6 sq. units.
