Solve graphically each of the following systems of linear equations. Also find the co-ordinates of the points where the lines meet the axis of x in each system.
(i) 2x + y = 6
x – 2y = -2 (C.B.S.E. 1998)
(ii) 2x – y = 2
4x – y = 8 (C.B.S.E. 1998)
(iii) x + 2y = 5
2x – 3y = -4 (C.B.S.E. 2005)
(iv) 2x + 3y = 8
x – 2y = -3 (C.B.S.E. 2005)



Answer -

(i) 2x + y = 6, x – 2y = -2
2x + y = 6
y = 6 – 2x
Substituting some different values of x, we get their corresponding values of y as shown below
 
Now plot the points and join them Similarly in the equation
x – 2y = -2
=> x = 2y – 2
 
Now plot the points and join them We see that these two lines intersect each other at (2, 2)
x = 2, y = 2
Here two lines also meet x-axis at (3, 0) and (-2, 0) respectively as shown in the figure.
(ii) 2x – y = 2, 4x – y = 8
2x – y = 2
=> y = 2x – 2
Substituting some different values of x, we get corresponding values of y as shown below:
 
Now plot the points on the graph and join them Similarly in equation
4x – y = 8
=> y = 4x – 8
 
Now plot these points and join them We see that these two lines intersect each other at (3, 4)
x = 3, y = 4
These two lines also meet x-axis at (1, 0) and (2,0) respectively as shown in the figure
(iii) x + 2y = 5, 2x – 3y = -4
x + 2y = 5
=> x = 5 – 2y
Substituting some different values of y, we get their corresponding values of x as shown below
 
Now plot the points on the graph and join them
Similarly in the equation
2x – 3y = 4
=> 2x = 3y – 4
x =  
 
Plot these points and join them
We see that these two lines intersect each other at (1, 2)
x = 1, y = 2
and these two lines meet x-axis at (5, 0) and (-2, 0) respectively as shown in the figure
(iv) 2x + 3y = 8, x – 2y = -3
2x + 3y = 8
=> 2x = 8 – 3y
x =  
Substituting some different values of y, we get their corresponding values of x as shown below:
 
Plot these points on the graph and join them Similarly in equation
x – 2y = -3
x = 2y – 3
 
Now plot these points and join them We see that these two lines intersect each other at (1, 2)
x = 1, y = 2
and also these lines meet x-axis at (4, 0) and (-3, 0) respectively as shown in the figure
