Draw graph of the following linear equations on the same axes
(i) x + y = 3
(ii) 3x – 2y = 4
Also shade the region formed by their graphs and y-axis.
2x + y = 8
⇒ y = 8 – 2x

We plot the points (4, 0) and (0, 8) on a graph paper and join the same by a ruler to get the line which is the graph of the equation 2x + y = 8.
From graph, we see that this line intersects the x-axis at the point (4, 0) and the y-axis at the point (0, 8).
