Write each of the following as an equation in two variables:
(i) x = – 5 (ii) y = 2
(iii) 2x = 3 (iv) 5y = 2.
Which one of the following options is true, and why?
y = 3x + 5 has
(i) a unique solution,
(ii) only two solutions,
(iii) infinitely many solutions.
(0, 2)
Put x = 0 and y = 2 in (i)., we get
x - 2y = 0 -2(2) = - 4, which is not 4
(0, 2) is not a solution of (1).
