(N/A) For the equation $x-y+1=0$,we can write $x=y-1$. The table of values is:
$x$$0$$1$$2$
$y$$1$$2$$3$

For the equation $3x+2y-12=0$,we can write $x=\frac{12-2y}{3}$. The table of values is:
$x$$4$$2$$0$
$y$$0$$3$$6$

By plotting these points on a graph,we obtain two intersecting lines. The lines intersect each other at the point $(2,3)$ and intersect the $x$-axis at $(-1,0)$ and $(4,0)$.
Thus,the vertices of the triangle formed by these lines and the $x$-axis are $(2,3)$,$(-1,0)$,and $(4,0)$.
