Question 1. Solve the following of equation graphically

x + y = 3

2x + 5y = 12

Solution: 

Given that, 2x + 5y = 12 and x + y = 3

We have,

x + y = 3,

When y = 0, we get x = 3

When x = 0, we get y = 3

So, the following table giving points on the line x + y = 3:

x 0 3
y 3 0

Now, 2 + 5y = 12

y = (12 – 2x)/5

When x = 1, we have

y = (12 – 2)/5 = 4

When x = -4, we have

y = (12 – 2(-4))/5 = 4

So, the following table giving points on the line 2x + 5y = 12:

x 1 -4
y 2 4

So, the graph of the equation x + y = 3 and 2x + 5y = 12 is

From the graph we conclude that the two lines intersect at a point P (1, 2).

Hence x = 1 and y = 2 are required point.

Question 2. Solve the following of equation graphically

x – 2y = 5

2x + 3y = 10

Solution : 

Given that,, x – 2y = 5 and 2x + 3y = 10

Now, x – 2y = 5

x = 5 + 2y

When y = 0, we get x = 5

When y = -2, we get x = 1

So, the following table giving points on the line x – 2y = 5

x 5 -1
y 0 -2

Now,  2x + 3y = 10

x = (10 – 3y)/2

When y = 0, we get x = 5

When y = 2, we get x = 2 

So, the following table giving points on the line 2x + 3y = 10

x 5 2
y 0 2

So, the graph of the equation x – 2y = 5 and 2x + 3y = 10

From the graph we conclude that the two lines intersect at a point P (5, 0)

Hence x = 5 and y = 0 are required point.

3x + y + 1 = 0

2x – 3y + 8 = 0

Solution: 

Given that, 3x + y + 1 = 0 and 2x – 3y + 8 = 0

Now 3x + y + 1 = 0

y = -1 – 3x

When x = 0, we get x = -1

When y = -1, we get x = 2

So, the following table giving points on the line x – 2y = 5

x -1 0
y 2 -1

Now,  2x – 3y + 8 = 0

x = (3y – 8)/2

When y = 0, we get x = -4

When y = 2, we get x = 1 

So, the following table giving points on the line 2x + 3y = 10

x -4 -1
y 0 -2

So, the graph of the equation 3x + y + 1 = 0 and 2x – 3y + 8 = 0

2x + y – 3 = 0

2x – 3y – 7 = 0

Solution:

Given that,, 2x + y – 3 = 0 and 2x – 3y – 7 = 0

Now 2x + y – 3 = 0,

y = 3 – 2x

When x = 0, we get x = 3

When x = 1, we get x = 1

So, the following table giving points on the line 2x + y – 3 = 0

x 0 1
y 3 1

Now,   2x – 3y – 7 = 0

When x = 0, we get y = 1

When x = 2, we get y = -1 

So, the following table giving points on the line 2x + 3y = 10

x 2 5
y -1 1

So, the graph of the equation 2x + y – 3 = 0 and 2x – 3y – 7 = 0

When x = 2, we get y = 4

When x = 3, we get y = 3

So, the following table giving points on the line x + y = 6

x 2 3
y 4 3

Now ,  x – y = 2

y = x – 2

When x = 0, we get y = – 2

Solution:

Given that,   x – 2y = 6 and 3x – 6y = 0

Now x – 2y = 6

x = 6 + 2y

When y = -2, we get x = 2

When y = -3, we get x = 0

So, the following table giving points on the line x – 2y = 6

x 2 0
y -2 -3

Now,  3x – 6y = 0

= x = 2y

When y = 0, we get y = 0

When y = -1, we get x = 2

So, the following table giving points on the line 3x – 6y = 0

x 0 2
y 0 1

So, the graph of the equation x – 2y = 6 and 3x – 6y = 0

From the graph we conclude that the two lines are parallel to each other so, the two lines have no common point. 

Hence the given system has no solutions.
