Half the perimeter of a rectangular garden, whose length is 4 m more than its width, is 36 m. Find the dimensions of the garden.
Given the linear equations 2x + 3y - 8 = 0, write another linear equation in two variables such that the geometrical representing of the pair so formed is :
(i) intersecting lines
(ii) parallel lines
(iii) coincident lines.
Draw the graphs of the equations x – y + 1 = 0 and 3x + 2y – 12 = 0. Determine the coordinates of the vertices of the triangle formed by these lines and the x-axis, and shade the triangular region.
We have,
x - y + 1 = 0
⇒ y = x + 1
Thus, we have following table :
We have,
3x + 2y-12 = 0
Thus, we have following table :
Fig. 3.11.
When we plot the graph of the given equations, we find that both the lines intersect at the point (2, 3), therefore x = 2, y = 3 is the solution of the given system of equations.
Vertices of triangle (-1, 0) and (4, 0).
