Pair of Linear Equations in Two Variables 29: Sample Question 2

The document describes a rectangle with vertices at points O(0,0), A(0,3), B(-2,3), and C(-2,0). The lines x=-2, y=3, the x-axis, and y-axis enclose the rectangle. The length and breadth are 2 and 3 units respectively, so the area is calculated as 2 x 3 = 6 square units.

PAIR OF LINEAR EQUATIONS IN TWO VARIABLES 29

The graph of y = 3 is a line parallel to the x-axis at a distance of 3 units above it.
So, the line m is the graph of y = 3.
The figure enclosed by the lines x = –2, y = 3, the x-axis and the y-axis is OABC,
which is a rectangle. (Why?)
A is a point on the y-axis at a distance of 3 units above the x-axis. So, the coordinates
of A are (0, 3);
C is a point on the x-axis at a distance of 2 units to the left of y-axis. So, the coordinates
of C are (–2, 0)
B is the solution of the pair of equations x = –2 and y = 3. So, the coordinates of B are
(–2, 3)
So, the vertices of the rectangle OABC are O (0, 0), A (0, 3), B (–2, 3), C (–2, 0)
The length and breadth of this rectangle are 2 units and 3 units, respectively.
As the area of a rectangle = length × breadth,
the area of rectangle OABC = 2 × 3 = 6 sq. units.
Sample Question 2: Determine, algebraically, the vertices of the triangle formed
by the lines
