Clearly, line a is parallel to X-axis at a distance of 1 unit in positive direction of Y-axis, therefore its equation is y = 1. Also, if we draw the graph of line 2x + 3y = 6, then its graph should intersect X - axis at (3,0) and Y - axis at (0,2) and so the given line b is correct. Thus, the student is right . Now, substituting y = 1 in equation of line b, we get 2x + 3 (1) 6 ⇒ 2x = 6 - 3 = 3 ⇒ x = 3 / 2 Here, the point of intersection is (3/2,1) ∴ Area enclosed between these lines and Y - axis . = Area of ΔABC = 1/2 × Base × Height = 1/2 × BC × AC = 1/2 × 1 × 3 / 2 = 3 / 4 sq unit.
