Linear Equation in Two Variables – 2

We have learnt:
 The Graph of Linear Equation in Two Variables is a straight line in the Cartesian Coordinate Plane
 The Linear Equation in Two Variables in the Standard form is ax + by + c = 0
 Finding the values of a, b and c
 Forming Linear Equation in Two Variables

Let us Learn
Exercise 4.1

2. Express the following linear equations in the form ax + by + c = 0 and indicate the values of a, b and
y
c in each case: (i) 2x + 3y = 9.35́ (ii) x – – 10 = 0 (iii) –2x + 3y = 6 (iv) x = 3y
5
(v) 2x = –5y (vi) 3x + 2 = 0 (vii) y – 2 = 0 (viii) 5 = 2x
Solution: y (iii) –2x + 3y = 6
(ii) x – – 10 = 0
(i) 2x + 3y = 9.35́ 5 –2x + 3y – 6= 0
2x + 3y – 9.35́ = 0 1 a = -2, b = 3, c= -6
a = 1, b = – , c = - 10
a = 2, b = 3, c = – 9.35́ 5

(iv) x = 3y (v) 2x = –5y (vi) 3x + 2 = 0


x – 3y + 0 = 0 2x + 5y + 0 = 0 3x + 0y + 2 = 0
a = 1, b = -3, c = 0 a = 2, b = 5, c = 0 a = 3, b = 0, c = 2

(vii) y – 2 = 0 (viii) 5 = 2x
0x + y – 2 = 0 2x – 5 = 0
a = 0, b = 1, c = -2 2x + 0y – 5 = 0
a= 2, b = 0, c = -5

Solution of a Linear Equation

 a linear equation in two variables has infinitely many solutions.


 The Solutions are mentioned in Ordered Pairs (x, y)
 (x, y) ≠(y, x)

Let x = 2,
x + 3y = 6
