This document describes using a graphical method to verify the consistency of pairs of linear equations in two variables. There are three cases: Case I - the lines intersect at one point, meaning there is a unique solution; Case II - the lines are coincident, meaning there are infinitely many solutions; Case III - the lines are parallel, meaning there is no solution and the equations are inconsistent. The method involves plotting the ordered pairs from each equation on a graph to obtain different graphs for each case and determine the consistency.

To verify the conditions of consistency/ Graph papers, pencil, eraser, inconsistency for a pair of linear cardboard, glue. equations in two variables by graphical method. METHOD OF CONSTRUCTION 1. Take a pair of linear equations in two variables of the form a1x + b1y + c1 = 0 (1) a2x + b2y + c2 = 0, (2) where a1, b1, a2, b2, c1 and c2 are all real numbers; a1, b1, a2 and b2 are not simultaneously zero. There may be three cases :
a1 b Case I : ≠ 1 a2 b2
a1 b c Case II: = 1 = 1 a2 b2 c2
a1 b c Case III: = 1 ≠ 1 a2 b2 c2
2. Obtain the ordered pairs satisfying the pair of linear equations (1) and (2) for each of the above cases. 3. Take a cardboard of a convenient size and paste a graph paper on it. Draw two perpendicular lines X′OX and YOY′ on the graph paper (see Fig. 1). Plot the points obtained in Step 2 on different cartesian planes to obtain different graphs [see Fig. 1, Fig. 2 and Fig.3].

DEMONSTRATION Case I: We obtain the graph as shown in Fig. 1. The two lines are intersecting at one point P. Co-ordinates of the point P (x,y) give the unique solution for the pair of linear equations (1) and (2).
a1 b Therefore, the pair of linear equations with ≠ 1 is consistent and has the a2 b2 unique solution. Case II: We obtain the graph as shown in Fig. 2. The two lines are coincident. Thus, the pair of linear equations has infinitely many solutions.
a1 b c Therefore, the pair of linear equations with = 1 = 1 is also consistent as a2 b2 c2 well as dependent.

14/04/18 Case III: We obtain the graph as shown in Fig. 3. The two lines are parallel to each other. This pair of equations has no solution, i.e., the pair of equations with a1 b c = 1 ≠ 1 is inconsistent. a2 b2 c2
Conclusion a1 b1 c1 Number of Consistent/ Case I, II or III Type of lines solution inconsistent/ a2 b2 c2 dependent
APPLICATION Conditions of consistency help to check whether a pair of linear equations have solution (s) or not. In case, solutions/solution exist/exists, to find whether the solution is unique or the solutions are infinitely many. 104 Laboratory Manual
