Find at least 3 solutions for the following linear equation in two variables:
2x + 5y = 13
Find solutions of the form x = a, y = 0 and x = 0, y = b for the following pairs of equations. Do they have any common such solution?
3x + 2y = 6 and 5x + 2y = 10
This expresses y in terms of x.
This line will intersect x-axis at the point for while y = 0. So, put y = 0 in (1), we get
x + 2(0) = 8
⇒ x = 8
Hence, line (1) intersects x-axis at the point (8, 0).
