Represent the following system of linear equations graphically from the graph find the points where the lines intersect y-axis.
3x + y - 5 = 0, 2x - y - 5 = 0
We have,
3x + y - 5 = 0
⇒ y = 5 - 3x
Thus we have following table :
We have, 2x - y - 5 = 0
⇒ y = 2x - 5
Thus, we have following table :
Fig. 3.19.
When we plot the graph of the given equation, we find that both the lines intersect at the point (-1, 2), therefore x = -1, y = 2 is the solution of the given system of equations.
From the graph we observe that lines intersect y-axis at (-5, 0) and (5,0)
Draw the graphs of the equations :
x - y = 1
and 2x + y = 8
Determine the vertices of the triangle formed by these lines and x-axis.
