Question : 6 of 39

Marks: +1, -0

The area of the triangle formed by the graph of ax + by = c (where a, b, are two positive real numbers) and the coordinate axes is:

Solution:

The given equation = ax + by = c
When x = 0
y =

c/b

y = 0
x =

c/a

Area of the triangle =

1/2 × c/a × c/b

c^2/{2ab} \unit^2
