The diagram presents a graphical representation of two linear equations forming a triangular area on the Cartesian plane. The axes are labeled \( x \) (horizontal) and \( y \) (vertical).

### Description of the Diagram:
- **Lines and Equations:**
  1. The line starting from the origin (0,0) with the equation \( y = \frac{h}{a}x \) extends to the point at \( x = a \) on the x-axis, reaching a height of \( h \) on the y-axis.
  2. The second line has the equation \( y = \left(\frac{h}{a-b}\right)(x-b) \), and it intersects the x-axis at the point \( x = b \).

- **Triangles and Lengths:**
  - The blue-shaded triangular area is formed between these two lines and the x-axis.
  - The triangle's base on the x-axis stretches from \( x = 0 \) to \( x = b \) and then up to \( x = a \).

### Key Parameters:
- **\( a \):** The x-coordinate where the first line reaches the height \( h \), defining the maximum extent of the line on the x-axis.
- **\( b \):** The x-coordinate where the second line begins on the x-axis.
- **\( h \):** The maximum height of the first line on the y-axis, shared by both equations, as they define the linear boundaries of the triangle.

This representation can be commonly used in mathematics education to explain concepts of linear functions, slopes, and their intersections, as well as applications in geometry for calculating areas under linear boundaries.
