Draw the graphs of the lines x - y = 1 and 2x + y = 8. Shade the area formed by these two lines and the y - axis. Also, find this area.
i) x - y = 1 y = x - 1
(ii) 2x + y = 8 y = 8 - 2x

The two lines intersect at point (3, 2). So, the solution of the given pair of linear equations is x = 3, y = 2.
Area of the required region (triangle)=12×base×height=12×9×3=13.5
