CAT 2023 Slot 2 · QA · Medium · Coordinate Geometry
The area of the quadrilateral bounded by the Y-axis, the line , and the lines , is
Answer
45
Explanation
The region is bounded between (Y-axis) and .
For , we have .
Substitute this into the given equation:
This gives two linear boundary functions for :
Thus, the region is bounded by and .
At , ranges from to (vertical length ). At , ranges from to (vertical length ).
This forms a trapezoid with parallel vertical sides of lengths and , and width .
