Draw the graphs of the following linear equations on the same graph paper.

2x+3y = 12, xy = 1


Find the coordinates of the vertices of the triangle formed by the two straight lines and the y-axis. Also, find the area of the triangle.

X-Y=1


2x + 3y =12


2x + 3y = 12 passes through (6, 0) and (0, 4)


x – y = 1 passes through (1, 0) and (0, -1)



Coordinates of the vertices of the triangle formed with the y axis are (0, 4), (0, -1) and (3, 2)


Base of the triangle = 4 + 1 =


Height of the triangle = 3


Area of the triangle


Area of the triangle
