3×0-4 0-4 -4
When x = 0, y = 2 = 2 = 2 = -2

3×2-4 6-4 2
When x = 2, y = 2 = 2 =2=1

3×(-2)-4 -6-4 -10

When x = –2, y = 2 = 2 = 2 = -5

Thus, the points on the line 3x – 2y = 4 are as given in the following table:
x 0 2 –2
y –2 1 –5

Plotting the points (0, –2), (2, 1) and (–2, –5) and drawing a line passing through these points, we obtain the graph of of the line 3x –
2y = 4.

x + y -3 = 0 ⇒ y = -x + 3

When x = 0, y = -0 + 3 = 3

When x = 1, y = -1 + 3 = 2

When x = –1, y = -(-1)+ 3 = 1 + 3 = 4

Thus, the points on the line x + y – 3 = 0 are as given in the following table:
x 0 1 –1

When x = 3, y = 3 = 3 = 3 =4

-4×6+24 -24+24 0
When x = 6, y = 3 = 3 =3=0

Thus, the points on the line 4x + 3y = 24 are as given in the following table:
x 0 3 6
y 8 4 0

Plotting the points (0, 8), (3, 4) and (6, 0) and drawing a line passing through these points, we obtain the graph of of the line 4x + 3y =

the shaded region.
Solution:

2x + y = 6 ⇒ y = -2x + 6

When x = 0, y = -2 × 0 + 6 = 0 + 6 = 6

When x = 1, y = -2 × 1 + 6 = -2 + 6 = 4

When x = 2, y = -2 × 2 + 6 = -4 + 6 = 2

Thus, the points on the line 2x + y = 6 are as given in the following table:
x 0 1 2

y 6 4 2

Plotting the points (0, 6), (1, 4) and (2, 2) and drawing a line passing through these points, we obtain the graph of of the line 2x + y =
6.

2x -y + 2 = 0 ⇒ y = 2x + 2

When x = 0, y = 2 × 0 + 2 = 0 + 2 = 2

When x = 1, y = 2 × 1 + 2 = 2 + 2 = 4

When x = –1, y = 2 × (-1)+ 2 = -2 + 2 = 0

Thus, the points on the line 2x – y + 2 = 0 are as given in the following table:
x 0 1 –1

y 2 4 0

Plotting the points (0, 2), (1, 4) and (–1, 0) and drawing a line passing through these points, we obtain the graph of of the line 2x – y +
2 = 0.

The shaded region represents the area bounded by the lines 2x + y = 6, 2x – y + 2 = 0 and the x-axis. This represents a triangle.

Question:17
Draw the graphs of the lines x – y = 1 and 2x + y = 8. Shade the area formed by these two lines and the y-axis. Also, find this area.
Solution:

x -y = 1 ⇒ y = x -1

When x = 0, y = 0 -1 = -1

When x = 1, y = 1 -1 = 0

When x = 2, y = 2 -1 = 1

Thus, the points on the line x – y = 1 are as given in the following table:
x 0 1 2
y –1 0 1

Plotting the points (0, –1), (1, 0) and (2, 1) and drawing a line passing through these points, we obtain the graph of of the line x – y =
1.

2x + y = 8 ⇒ y = -2x + 8
When x = 1, y = -2 × 1 + 8 = -2 + 8 = 6

When x = 2, y = -2 × 2 + 8 = -4 + 8 = 4

When x = 3, y = -2 × 3 + 8 = -6 + 8 = 2

Thus, the points on the line 2x + y = 8 are as given in the following table:
x 1 2 3

y 6 4 2

Plotting the points (1, 6), (2, 4) and (3, 2) and drawing a line passing through these points, we obtain the graph of of the line 2x + y =
8.

The shaded region represents the area bounded by the lines x – y = 1, 2x + y = 8 and the y-axis. This represents a triangle.

It can be seen that the lines intersect at the point C3, 2

. Draw CD perpendicular from C on the y-axis.

Height = CD = 3 units

Question:18
Draw the graph for each of the equation x + y = 6 and x – y = 2 on the same graph paper and find the coordinates of the point where
the two straight lines intersect.
Solution:

x + y = 6 ⇒ y = -x + 6

When x = 0, y = -0 + 6 = 6

When x = 1, y = -1 + 6 = 5

When x = 3, y = -3 + 6 = 3
Thus, the points on the line x + y = 6 are as given in the following table:
x 0 1 3
y 6 5 3

Plotting the points (0, 6), (1, 5) and (3, 3) and drawing a line passing through these points, we obtain the graph of of the line x + y = 6.

x -y = 2 ⇒ y = x -2

When x = 0, y = 0 -2 = -2

When x = 2, y = 2 -2 = 0

When x = –1, y = -1 -2 = -3

Thus, the points on the line x – y = 2 are as given in the following table:
x 0 2 –1

y –2 0 –3

Plotting the points (0, –2), (2, 0) and (–1, –3) and drawing a line passing through these points, we obtain the graph of of the line x –
y = 2.

It can be seen that the lines x + y = 6 and x – y = 2 intersect at the point 4, 2

Solution:

Let the contribution of A and B be x and y, respectively.

Total contribution of A and B = x + y = (x + y)

It is given that the total contribution of A and B is 100.

∴ x + y = 100
This is the linear equation satisfying the the given data.

x + y = 100

⇒ y = 100 – x

When x = 10, y = 100 – 10 = 90

When x = 40, y = 100 – 40 = 60

When x = 60, y = 100 – 60 = 40

Thus, the points on the line x + y = 100 are as given in the following table:
x 10 40 60
y 90 60 40

Plotting the points (10, 90), (40, 60) and (60, 40) and drawing a line passing through these points, we obtain the graph of of the

Substituting (-2, 2)
in the equation, we get: x - y = -2 -2 = -4

Substituting (0, 0)
in the equation, we get: x - y = 0 - 0 = 0

Substituting (2, - 2)
in the equation, we get: x - y = 2 + 2 = 4

So, the given points do not satisfy the equation.

Now, let us check b
x + y = 0

Substituting (-2, 2)
in the equation, we get: x + y = -2 + 2 = 0

Substituting (0, 0)
in the equation, we get: x + y = 0 + 0 = 0

Substituting (2, -2)

in the equation, we get: x + y = 2 - 2 = 0

So, the given points satisfy the equation.
