2 = 0.
Answer 5:
False
Justification:
The given equation is x – y + 2 = 0.
At the point (0, 2)
LHS
=x–y+2
= 0 – 2 + 2 [Putting x = 0 and y = 2]
=0

LHS = RHS
At the point (1, 3)
LHS
22
=x–y+2
= 1 – 3 + 2 [Putting x = 1 and y = 3]
=0

LHS = RHS
At the point (2, 4)
LHS
=x–y+2
= 2 – 4 + 2 [Putting x = 2 and y = 4]
=0
= RHS
LHS = RHS
At the point (3, – 5)
LHS
=x–y+2
= 3 – (– 5) + 2
23
[Putting x = 3 and y = – 5]
= 10 ≠ RHS
LHS ≠ RHS
At the point (4, 6)
LHS
=x–y+2
= 4 – 6 + 2 [Putting x = 4 and y = 6]

x on the same Cartesian plane. What do you observe ?
Solution-
25
The given equation is Y=x. To draw the graph of this

equations, we need atleast two points lying on the
given line.
For x= 1, y= 1 therefore (1, 1), therefore (1,1)

satisfies the liner equation Y= x.
For x=4, y=4, therefore (4. 4) satisfies the linear

equation Y= x
By plotting the points (1,1) and (4,4) on the graph

paper and joining them by a line, we obtain the graph
of Y= x.
The given equation is Y= -x. to draw the graph of this

equation , we need atleast two points lying on the
given line.
For x= 3, Y=-3, therefore, (3, -3) satisfies the linear

equation Y= -x.
26
For x=-4 , Y=4, therefore, (-4, 4) satisfies the linear

equation Y= -x.
By plotting the points (3, -3) and (-4, 4) on the graph

paper and joining them by a line, we obtain the graph
of Y= -x.
We observe that, the line Y =x and Y = -x intersect at

the point O (0,0)

straight line which is parallel to the X-axis in negative
direction of Y-axis is given by Y= -k, where k is the
distance of the line from the X-axis. Here, k=3.
Solution-
Any straight line parallel to X-axis in negative direction

of Y-axis is given by Y= -k, where k is the distance of
the line from the X-axis. Here, k=3
28
Therefore, the equation of the lines is Y= -3. To draw

the graph of this equation plot the points (1, -3), (2, -
3) and (3, -3) and Join them. This is required graph.
Q. 4. Draw the graph of the linear equation whose

solutions are represented by the points having the sum
of the coordinates as 10 units.
Solution-

Let x and y be two coordinates, then we get x + y =

10.
29
For x=5, y=5, therefore, (5,5)lies on the graph of x +

y = 10
For x= 5, y= 5, therefore (3, 7) lies on the graph of x

+ y = 10.
Now, plotting the point (5, 5) and (3, 7) on the graph

paper and joining them by a line, we get graph of the
linear equation x + y= 10.
Q. 5 Write the linear equation such that each point on

its graph has an ordinate 3 times its abscissa.
Solution-
Let the abscdissan of the point be x,

When x= 1, then Y= 3 X 1 = 3 and when x= 2, then 3

X2=6
X 1 2
Y 3 6
Here, we find two points A (1, 3) and B (2, 6). So,
draw the graph by plotting the points and joining the
line AB.
Hence , Y = 3x is the required equation such that each

point in its graph has an ordinate 3 times its abscissa.
Q. 6 If the point (3, 4) lies on the graph of 3y = ax+7,

then find the value of a.
Solution-
Since, the point (x = 3, Y=4) lies on the equation 3y =

as+7, then the equation will be satisfied by the point.
31
Now, put x= 3 and Y= 4 in given equation, we get
3(4) =a(3) + 7
3(4) = a(3) + 7
Þ 12 = 3a + 7

Q.5. If the temperature of a liquid can be measured in

kelvin units as x0K or in Fahrenheit units as y0F, the
relation between the two systems of measurement of
temperature is given by the linear equation.
9
y = ( x - 273) + 32
5
(i) find the temperature of the liquid in Fahrenheit, if

the temperature of the liquid is 313K.
(ii) If the temperature is 1580F, then find the

temperature in Kelvin.
Solution-
Given relation is,
44
9
y = ( x - 273) + 32
5
(i) Given, x= 3130K, then from Eq. (i), we get
9
y = (313 - 273) + 32
5
9
= ´ 40 + 32
5
= 9 ´ 8 + 32 = 72 + 32
= 1040 F
(ii) Given, Y = 1580F, then from Eq. (i) we get
9
158 = ( x - 273) + 32
5
9( x - 273) + 32 ´ 5
Þ 158 =
5
Þ 158 ´ 5 = 9( x - 273) + 160
Þ 790 = 9( x - 273) + 160
Þ 9( x - 273) = 630
630

9
Þ x - 273 = 70
! x = 70 + 273 = 3430 K
Q.6. The force exerted to pull a carts is directly

proportional to the acceleration produced in the body.
Express the statement as a linear equation of two
variables and draw the graph of the same by taking the
45
constant mass equal to 6 kg. Read from the graph, the

force required when the acceleration produced is
(i) 5 ms-2 (ii) 6 ms-2
Solution-
Given that, the force (F) is directly produced to the

acceleration (a).
i.e.
F µa
Þ f = ma
[where, m= arbitrary constant and take value 6 kg of

mass]
\ F = 6a ....(i)
(i) If a = 6 m/s2, then from Eq. (i) we get,
F = 6 ´ 5 = 30 N
(ii) If a 6m/s2, then from Eq. (i) we get
F = 6 ´ 6 = 36 N
Here, we find two points A (5,30) and B(6,36). So draw

the graph by plotting points and joining the line AB.
