Q27 of 45 Page 1

Using the method of integration, find the area of the region bounded by the lines
3x - 2y + 1 = 0, 2x + 3y - 21 = 0 and
x - 5y + 9 = 0.

Given; 3x - 2y + 1 = 0 …… (i)

2x + 3y - 21 = 0 …… (ii)


x - 5y + 9 = 0 …… (iii)


3×(i) + 2×(ii)


13x − 39 = 0


x = 3.



(3,5) is the intersection point of (i) and (ii).


(ii) − 2×(iii)


13y − 39 = 0 y = 3.



(6,3) is the intersection point of (ii) and (iii).


(i) − 3×(iii)


13y − 26 = 0


y = 2.



(1,2) is the intersection point of (i) and (ii).



Required Area is;
