The area (in sq. units) of the region bounded by the line 2y=3x+62y=3x+6, x-axis and the ordinates x=-3 and x=1 is:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

The line meets the x-axis at x=−2x=-2, so the region splits there.

On [−3,−2][-3,-2] the line is below the axis: area =∣∫−3−23x+62dx∣=34=\left|\int_{-3}^{-2}\frac{3x+6}{2}dx\right|=\frac34.

On [−2,1][-2,1] it is above: ∫−213x+62dx=274\int_{-2}^{1}\frac{3x+6}{2}dx=\frac{27}{4}.

Total =34+274=152=\frac34+\frac{27}{4}=\frac{15}{2}.
