Linear Equations in Two Variables

Instructions:
 This worksheet contains 30 questions. These are created to help you with more practice.
 Attempt all questions with the same rigor and seriousness as you would in an examination.
 First give yourself enough attempts to solve the challenging questions on your own before reaching out to
teachers for help.
● While attempting the questions, show the complete solution.

Answer the following questions.

1) Express the following linear equations in the form ax + by + c = 0 and indicate the values of a, b and c

(ii) Given equation, y ൌ 3
The above equation can be written in two variables as,
0x ൅ y– 3 ൌ 0

3) The cost of ball pen is Rs 5 less than half of the cost of fountain pen. Write this statement as a linear equation in

2
or 2x ൌ y– 10
or 2x– y ൅ 10 ൌ 0
Which is required linear equation.

4 ) Write two solutions for each of the following equations:


(iሻ3x ൅ 4y ൌ 7
ሺiiሻx ൌ 6y
Sol. 1: Isolate above equation in y.
Subtract 3x from both the sides,
3x ൅ 4y– 3x ൌ 7– 3x
4y ൌ 7– 3x
Divide each side by 4
y ൌ 1/4 x ሺ7 – 3xሻ … .(2)
Step 2: Find Solutions
Substituting x ൌ 1 in (2)
1 1
y ൌ ൈ ሺ7– 3ሻ ൌ ൈ 4 ൌ 1
4 4
Thus x ൌ 1 and y ൌ 1 is the solution of 3x ൅ 4y ൌ 7
Again, Substituting x ൌ 2 in (2)
1 1
y ൌ ൈ ሺ7– 3 ൈ 2ሻ ൌ ൈ 1 ൌ 1/4
4 4
ଵ
Thus x ൌ 2 and y ൌ is the solution of 3x ൅ 4y ൌ 7
ସ
ଵ
Therefore, ሺ1, 1ሻ and ሺ2, ሻ are two solution of 3x ൅ 4y ൌ 7.
ସ
( ii) Given: x ൌ 6y
Substituting x ൌ 0 in the given equation,
0 ൌ 6y
or y ൌ 0
Thus (0,0) is one solution
Again, substituting x ൌ 6
6 ൌ 6y
or y ൌ 1
Thus, (6 , 1) is another solution.
Therefore, (0, 0) and (6 , 1) are two solutions of x ൌ 6y.

5) Check which of the following are solutions of the equation 2x – y = 6 and which are not:
(i) ( 3 , 0 ) (ii) ( 0 , 6 )
Ans. (i) Yes. (ii) N o.
Sol. (i) Check for (3, 0)
Put x ൌ 3 and y ൌ 0 in equation
2x– y ൌ 6
2ሺ3ሻ– ሺ0ሻ ൌ 6
6 ൌ 6
True statement.
⇒ (3,0) is a solution of 2x– y ൌ 6.
(ii) Check for (0, 6 )
Put x ൌ 0 and y ൌ 6 in 2x– y ൌ 6
2 ൈ 0– 6 ൌ 6
െ6 ൌ 6
False statement.
⇒ (0, 6 ) is not a solution of 2x– y ൌ 6.

6) If x = -1, y = 2 is a solution of the equation 3x + 4y = k, find the value of k.


Ans. 5.
Sol. Given, 3x ൅ 4y ൌ k
(-1, 2) is the solution of 3x ൅ 4y ൌ k, so it satisfy the equation.
Substituting x ൌ െ1 and y ൌ 2 in 3x ൅ 4y ൌ k , we get
3ሺ– 1ሻ ൅ 4ሺ2ሻ ൌ k
– 3 ൅ 8 ൌ k

The value of k is 5.

7) Draw the graph of x ൅ y ൌ 4.


Sol. Given : x ൅ y ൌ 4
or y ൌ 4– x,
Find values of x and y:
Putting x ൌ 0 ⇒ y ൌ 4
Putting x ൌ 4 ⇒ y ൌ 0
Graph: Mark points (0, 4) and (4, 0) on the graph and join them.

8) Give the equations of two lines passing through (3, 12). How many more such lines are there, and why?
Ans. There are infinite lines passing through (3, 12).
Sol. Since a ൌ 3 and b ൌ 12 is the solution of required equations. So we have to find the set of any two equations
which satisfy this point.
Consider 4a– b ൌ 0 and 3a– b ൅ 3 ൌ 0 set of lines which are passing through (3, 12).
We know, infinite lines can be pass through a point.
So, there are infinite lines passing through (3, 12).

Aarushi paid Rs 27 for a book kept for seven days. If fixed charges are Rs x and per day charges are Rs y. Write
the linear equation representing the above information.
Sol. Aarushi paid Rs 27, of which Rs. x for the first three days and Rs. y per day for 4 more days is given by
x ൅ ሺ7– 3ሻy ൌ 27
x ൅ 4y ൌ 27 equation represents the linear equation for the given information.

11) Plot the Points (3, 5) and (-1, 3) on a graph paper and verify that the straight line passing through the points, also
passes through the point (1, 4).
Sol. Plot points (3, 5), (-1, 3) and (1, 4) on a graph.
Let A(1, 4), B(3, 5) and C(-1, 3)

From above graph, we can see that, Point A (1, 4) is already plotted on the graph, and a point of intersection of
two intersecting lines.

Hence, it is proved that the straight line passing through (3, 5) and (-1, 3) and also passes through A (1, 4).

12) From the choices given below, choose the equations whose graph is given in figure.

ሺiሻy ൌ x.
ሺiiሻx ൅ y ൌ 0.
Ans.
Sol. From graph, co-ordinates (1, -1) and (-1, 1) are solutions of one of the equations.
We will put the value of all the co-ordinates in each equation and check which equation satisfy them.
( i) y ൌ x
Put x ൌ 1 and y ൌ െ1 ,
Thus, 1 ് െ1 L. H. S ് R. H. S
Putting x = -1 and y = 1 ,
-1 ≠ 1 L. H. S ് R. H. S
Therefore, y ൌ x does not represent the graph in the given figure.
( ii) x ൅ y ൌ 0
Putting x ൌ 1 and y ൌ െ1 ,
⇒ 1 ൅ ሺെ1ሻ ൌ 0
⇒ 0 ൌ 0
L. H. S ൌ R. H. S
Putting x ൌ െ1andy ൌ 1,
ሺെ1ሻ ൅ 1 ൌ 0
0 ൌ 0
L. H. S ൌ R. H. S
Thus, the given solutions satisfy this equation.

13) Write the equation of a line passing through the point (3, 5) and parallel to x-axis.
Sol. Here x-coordinate = 3 and y-coordinate = 5
Since required line is parallel to x-axis, so equation of line is y = 5.
