Q15 of 58 Page 44

Let us write the area of the triangle formed by the graph of the equation 3x + 4y = 12 and the axes.

3x + 4y = 12


Putting different values of x, we get different values of ‘y’, hence we get points for plotting as:




Vertices of the triangle formed by the graph and the Axis are (0,0), (0,3) and (4,0)


This is a Right angle triangle, Area of the Right Angle Triangle =


As we can see in this Graph base is 4 units and Height is 3 units.


Area =


Area = 6 Unit2
