CAT 2023 Slot 2 · Quantitative Ability · Medium · Coordinate Geometry
This is a medium Quantitative Ability question from the CAT 2023 Slot 2 paper. It tests Coordinate Geometry. The full answer key and a step-by-step explanation are below — try it yourself first, then reveal the solution.
The area of the quadrilateral bounded by the Y-axis, the line , and the lines , is
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 .
