Area of the parallelogram formed by the lines y= 4x, y =4x + 1, x +y = 0 and x + y = 1 is
Explanation
Area Calculation
The area of a parallelogram formed by the lines
y=mx, y=mx+c1, y=nx, and y=nx+c2 can be calculated
using the formula: Area=∣m−n∣∣c1c2∣.
Step-by-step Solution
1. The given equations of the lines are identified:
• y=4x
• y=4x+1
• x+y=0⟹y=−x
• x+y=1⟹y=−x+1
2. The parameters m, n, c1, and c2 are extracted from the given equations:
• From y=4x and y=4x+1, it is determined that m=4 and c1=1.
• From y=−x and y=−x+1, it is determined that n=−1 and c2=1.
3. The values are substituted into the area formula:
Area=∣4−(−1)∣∣(1)(1)∣
1. The calculation is performed:
Area=∣4+1∣∣1∣=51
Final Answer
The area of the parallelogram is 51.
