Solution:
Question 2: Please refer to the figure, if A is a point in the shaded region, then the point could be
A. (2,3)
B. (-3,4)
C. (4,7)
D. (8,3)
E. (13,6)
In order to solve this question, we need to first observe that the figure is plotted on grid that is similar to graph paper and the distance between the integer coordinates on each of the X axis and Y axis is 1 unit. For example, point y = 5 on Y axis is 5 units away from the origin (0,0). Moreover, it is asked in this question that we need to find a point A in the shaded region of the graph and the right coordinates of point A are required to be identified from the given options.
We can eliminate the wrong options and select the right option by looking at the area of shaded region in the graph that is a right angled triangle. In the shaded triangle, one side is Y = 5 units or (5,0) and in case of other side, y-coordinate is 5 and x-coordinate can be found by looking at the grid distance on x-axis from the origin. X-coordinate is 2.5 units away from the origin (0,0). Thus, the coordinates of three vertices of the triangle are (0,0), (0,5) and (2.5,5).
. Now, by looking at the given options in the question, we can easily eliminate option B,C,D and E because any option with y-coordinate value > 5 or x-coordinate value < 0 is clearly incorrect as the shaded region lies in the first quadrant in which values of both X and Y coordinates are positive.
Option A i.e.; (2,3) is the correct answer.
