  1. Area of the triangle formed by the graph of the line 2x – 3y + 6 = 0 along with the coordinate axes is:
    1. 1
      sq. units
      2
    2. 3
      sq. units
      2
    3. 3 sq. units
    4. 6 sq. units
Correct Option: C

Given in the question ,
Putting x = 0 in line 2x – 3y + 6 = 0
⇒ y = 2
Putting y = 0 in 2x + 3y + 6 = 0
⇒ x = – 3

Area of ∆ OAB =
1
x OB x OA =
1
x 3 x 2 = 3 sq. units.
