INTRODUCTION
What is Linear equation in two variables ?
As the name itself suggests, It is an equation with two variables (alphabets) and a degree of 1
(linear). E.g. 2 x+3 y =20
Standard form of a linear equation in two variables ax +by + c=0
Solution of an equation has various names such as Zeroes = Roots = Solution = Value of x∧ y .
Write each of the following equations in the form ax + by + c = 0 and indicate the values of a, b
and c in each case:
Equation a b c
(i) 2x + 3y = 4.37 2 3 – 4.37
(ii) x – 4 = 3y 1 –3 –4
(iii) 4 = 5x – 3y 5 –3 –4
(iv) 2x = y 2 –1 0
Lets Practice:
1. In a one-day international cricket match, Raina and Dhoni together scored 198 runs.
Express the statements as a linear equation in two variables.
Ans.
2. The cost of a table is 100 more than half the cost of a chair. Write this statement as a linear
equation in two variables.
Ans.
3. Write linear equation representing a line which is parallel to y-axis and is at a distance of 2 units on
the left side of y-axis.
Ans.
DRAW EQUATIONS ON GRAPH
Equations are expressed on the graph in the form of points and lines.
Lets, Draw the graph of an equation x + y = 7.
Put the value of x=0 , then y=7−x=7−0=7
Put the value of y=0 , then x=7− y=7−0=7
x 0 7
y 7 0
E.g. Locate the points (5, 0), (0, 5), (2, 5), (5, 2), (–3, 5), (–3, –5), (5, –3) and (6, 1) in the Cartesian
plane.
∆BOE
E.g. Write the coordinates of the points marked on the axes. Also find the area of right angled triangle
(i) The coordinates of A are (-4, 3). (v) The coordinates of F are (-3, -3)
(ii) The coordinates of B are (0, 6). (v) The coordinates of G are (0 ,−1)
(iii) The coordinates of C are (5, 6). (v) The coordinates of H are (4,−2)
(iv) The coordinates of D are (1, 2). (v) The coordinates of I are (3,−6)
(v) The coordinates of E are (- 6, 0)
