We need that these lines intersect the y-axis , so we make x=0 , taking it y = − 3 − 6 − 2 x = 3 1 8 − 2 x And with this we find the two intesections in y-axis y 1 = − 3 − 6 − 2 ( 0 ) = 2 and y 2 = 3 1 8 − 2 ( 0 ) = 6 So, we have the intersections in y-axis of the the lines: (0,2) and (0,6) . Now, to find the intersection of these two lines we need to find the point y (or I needed), and we can do it as this x = 2 3 y − 6 = 2 1 8 − 3 y 3 y − 6 = 1 8 − 3 y 6 y = 2 4 y = 4 And now, we know the point of intersection of lines is (x,4) , and to find the value of x , only need to put the value of y in any of equations, so x = 2 3 y − 6 = 2 3 ( 4 ) − 6 = 2 6 = 3 And our intersection point of the lines is (3,4) , then we watch in our plane that we have an isosceles triangle with side lenghts a,b,c (I make the plane and watched it), where a = 4 , b = 5 , c = 5 And by the same plane i made, i find the base= a = 4 (because i want it to be my base) and the high= 3 . So the area is α = 2 3 ∗ 4 = 3 ∗ 2 = 6 And that's all folks! Questions?
