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.

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 = ………(3)
When, x = -3, y = = 6,
x = 0, y = = 4,
x = 3, y = = 2.
Table of values of equation (3) :
x | -3 | 0 | 3 |
---|---|---|---|
y | 6 | 4 | 2 |
Steps of construction :
Plot the points (-3, 6), (0, 4) and (3, 2).
Join the points.

From graph,
ABC is the required triangle.
Hence, coordinates of vertices of triangle formed by these lines = (-3, 6), (-3, 2) and (3, 2).
