Represent the following pair of equations graphically and write the coordinates of points where the lines intersect y-axis :
x + 3y = 6
2x - 3y = 12
The given equations are :
x + 3y = 6 ...(i)
and 2x - 3 y = 12 ...(ii)
From equation (i), we get
x - 6 - 3y
Thus, we have following table
From equation (ii), we get
2x = 3y + 12
Thus, we have following table
When we plot the graph of the given equation, we Find that both the lines intersect at the point (6, 0). So, a = 6, y = 0 is the solution of the given equation. From the graph it is clear that the vertices of triangle. So formed by lines representing given equations and y-axis are (6, 0).
