The area bounded by the line y=xy=x, the x−axisx-axis and the ordinates x=−1x=-1 and x=2x=2 is

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

The line lies below the axis on [−1,0][-1,0] and above on [0,2][0,2], so take absolute values.

Area =∫−10(−x)dx+∫02x dx=12+2=52=\int_{-1}^{0}(-x)dx+\int_0^2 x\,dx=\frac{1}{2}+2=\frac{5}{2} square units.
