Expert Solution
Step 1

Solution - 

g(x,y) is a linear function.

let g(x,y) = ax+by+c

from graph of g(x,y).

The graph g(x,y)=-1 passes through (0,0) and (3,2)

ax+by+c=-1 passes through (0,0) and (3,2)

(0,0) and (3,2) would satisfied ax+by+c=-1

Therefore, a(0) + b(0) + c=-1

c=-1

and a(3) + b(2) + c=-1 3a+2b+c=-1

                                           3a+2b-1=-1

                                          3a+2b=0  ----(1)

also g(x,y)=0 passes through (2,0)

ax+by+c=0 passes through (2,0)

Therefore, a(2)+b(0)+c=0

2a+c=0

2a-1=0

Cl=1/2
