Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 3x+4y=24

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The equation of the straight line passing through the point 4, 3, whose slope m (assume). y-3=mx-4 ⇒ y=mx-4m+3 So, x-intercept of the line is 4-3m and y-intercept is 3-4m, So, area of the given triangle is A=12×4-3m3-4m=1224-16m-9m=12-8m-92m To find the…
