On graph paper, take 2 cm to represent one unit on both axes, draw the lines :

x + 3 = 0, y - 2 = 0, 2x + 3y = 12.

Write down the coordinates of the vertices of the triangle formed by these lines.

Answer

Given,

1st equation :

⇒ x + 3 = 0

⇒ x = -3 …………(1)

2nd equation :

⇒ y - 2 = 0

⇒ y = 2 ………….(2)

3rd equation :

⇒ 2x + 3y = 12

⇒ 3y = 12 - 2x

⇒ y = 122x3\dfrac{12 - 2x}{3} ………(3)

When, x = -3, y = 122×(3)3=12+63=183\dfrac{12 - 2 \times (-3)}{3} = \dfrac{12 + 6}{3} = \dfrac{18}{3} = 6,

x = 0, y = 122×03=123\dfrac{12 - 2 \times 0}{3} = \dfrac{12}{3} = 4,

x = 3, y = 122×33=1263=63\dfrac{12 - 2 \times 3}{3} = \dfrac{12 - 6}{3} = \dfrac{6}{3} = 2.

Table of values of equation (3) :

x-303
y642

Steps of construction :

  1. Plot the points (-3, 6), (0, 4) and (3, 2).

  2. Join the points.

On graph paper, take 2 cm to represent one unit on both axes, draw the lines : x + 3 = 0, y - 2 = 0, 2x + 3y = 12. Coordinate Geometry, ML Aggarwal Understanding Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 9.

From graph,

ABC is the required triangle.

Hence, coordinates of vertices of triangle formed by these lines = (-3, 6), (-3, 2) and (3, 2).
