Solve graphically the system of linear equations:



Find the area bounded by these lines and x-axis.

They meet at x = 2, y = 4


Height of the triangle formed = 4 units


Base of the triangle formed = 5 + 1 = 6


Area of the region bounded by these lines and x-axis



= 0.5 × 4 × 6


= 12 sq. units
