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.
4x + 3y = 36 ....(1) 3y = 36 - 4x

We plot the points (0, 12) and (9,0) on a graph paper and join the same by a ruler to get the line which is the graph of the equation (1).
Mark a point P(3, 0) on x-axis. From P draw PQ || y-axis to intersect the graph at Q. From Q, draw QR || x-axis to intersect the y-axis at R(0, 8).
Hence, y = 8 when x = 3.
Again, mark a point A(0, 6) on y-axis. From A draw AB II x-axis to intersect the graph at B. From B, draw BC || y-axis to intersect x-axis at .
Hence when y = 6
