Question 15 Marks
Draw the graph of the equation 2x + y = 6. Shade the region bounded by the graph and the coordinate axes. Also, find the area of the shaded region.
Answer
View full question & answer→We have,
2x + y = 6
⇒ y = 6 - 2x ...(i)
Putting x = 3 in (i), we get y = 6 - 2 × 3 = 0
Putting x = 0 in (i), we get y = 6 - 2 × 0 = 6
Thus, we obtain the following table giving coordinates of two points on the line represented by the equation 2x + y = 6.
The graph of line 2x + y = 6:

The area enclosed by the graph of line and the coordinate axes is shaded in the graph
Now,
Required area = Area of the shaded region
⇒ Required area = Area of $\triangle\text{ABC}$
⇒ Required area $=\frac{1}{2}(\text{Base}\times\text{Height})$
⇒ Required area $=\frac{1}{2}(3\times6)$
=9sq. units.
