CH-4 Linear Equations in Two Variables

Solution

1. (c) -1
Explanation: For finding  value of ‘k’,  we put x = 2 and y = -1 iin a equation  x + 3y – k = 0

x+3 y-k=0
2+3(-1)=k
2-3=k
k=-1

2. (b) remains the same
Explanation: If then for any non-zero c.  We can divide both sides of an equation by a non-zero number c, without changing the equation.
3. (b) 1
Explanation: If the line represented by the equation 3x + ky = 9 passes through the points (2, 3) then (2,3) will satisy the equation 3x + ky = 9

3 (2) + 3k = 9
=>6 + 3k = 9
=>3k = 9-6
=>3k = 3
=> k = 1

4. (c) many
Explanation: there are infinite many eqution which satisfy the given value x = 2, y = 3
for example
x + y = 5
x - y = -1
3x - 2y = 0
etc..............
5. (d) ($\frac{2}{3}$, 2)

Explanation:

y = 3x

$\frac{y}{3}=x$

For,  y=2, the value of x will be $\frac{2}{3}$

So ($\frac{2}{3}$,2)

6. x-axis

7. y = 0

8. It is given that x = 1, y = 2 is a solution of a2x + ay = 3.
$\therefore$ a2 $×$ 1 + a $×$ 2 = 3
$⇒$ a2 + 2a - 3 = 0
$⇒$ a2 + 3a - a - 3 = 0
$⇒$ a(a + 3) - 1(a + 3) = 0
$⇒$(a - 1) (a + 3) = 0
$⇒$ a - 1 = 0 or, a + 3 = 0 $⇒$ a = 1, -3

9. Let number of erasers Arvind have be x
and number of erasers Vinod have be y

if Vinod gives 10 erasers to Arvind

Erasers with Arvind = x+10 ,  Erasers left with Vinod  = y-10

A.T.Q. Erasers with Arvind = 2 × Erasers left with Vinod
$⇒$ x+10 = 2(y -10)
$⇒$ x +10 = 2y-20
$⇒$ x - 2y + 30 = 0

10. 5 = 2x
⇒ –2x + 5 = 0
⇒ –2x + 0.y – 5 = 0
Comparing with ax + by + c = 0, we get
a = –2, b = 0, c = 5

11. For    x = 2, y = 1
L.H.S. = 2x – 3y
= 2(2) – 3(1)
= 4 – 3 = 1
= R.H.S.
∴ x = 2, y = 1 is a solution of 2x – 3y = 1.

12. We have,
8x - ay + a2 = 0.....(i)
It is given that x = 1 and y = 6 is a solution of the equation 8x - ay + a2 = 0
On putting the corresponding value of x and y in (1), we get
$\therefore$ 8 (1) - a (6) + a2 = 0
$⇒$ 8 - 6a + a2 = 0
$⇒$ a2 - 6a + 8 = 0
$⇒$ a2 - 4a - 2a + 8 = 0
$⇒$ a(a - 4) - 2(a - 4) = 0
$⇒$(a - 4)(a - 2) = 0
$⇒$ a - 4 = 0 or, a - 2 = 0
$⇒$ a = 4 or, a =  2
Hence, a = 4 or, a = 2.

13. 12x + 5y = 0
⇒ 5y = –12x
⇒ $y=\frac{-12}{5}x$
Put x = 0, then $y=\frac{-12}{5}\left(0\right)=0$
Put x = 5, then $y=\frac{-12}{5}\left(5\right)=-12$
Put x = 10, then $y=\frac{-12}{5}\left(10\right)=-24$
Put x = 15, then $y=\frac{-12}{5}\left(15\right)=-36$
∴ (0, 0), (5, –12), (10, –24) and (15, –36) are the four solutions of the equation 12x + 5y = 0

14. We have,
2y = -x + 1
$⇒$ y = $\frac{1-x}{2}$ ......(i)
Putting x = 1 in eq. (i), we get y = $\frac{1-1}{2}$ = 0
Putting x = -1in eq. (i), we get y = $\frac{1-\left(-1\right)}{2}$ = $\frac{1+1}{2}$ = 1
Putting x = 3 in eq. (i), we get y = $\frac{1-\left(3\right)}{2}$ = $\frac{-2}{2}$ = -1
Thus, we have the following table represent the equation 2y = -x + 1.

 x 1 -1 3 y 0 1 -1

Graph of the equation 2y = -x + 1:

15. 3x + 4y = 12
Express y in terms of x.such that it is in the form of

y = mx + c
4y = 12-3x
y = $\frac{12-3x}{4}$ ....(i)
For graph,
Let x = 2, put in (i)
$y=\frac{12-3\left(2\right)}{4}=\frac{12-6}{4}=\frac{6}{4}=\frac{3}{2}=1.5$
Let x = 4, put in (i)
$y=\frac{12-3\left(4\right)}{4}=\frac{12-12}{4}=\frac{0}{4}=0$
When line meet x-axis,y = 0

$3x=12⇒x=\frac{12}{3}=4$

When line meet y-axis,x =0

Then 3 (0) + 4y = 12 therefore y = 3
$\therefore$ Point of intersection of x-axis is (4, 0).

 x 2 4 0 y 1.5 0 3 A B C

$\therefore$ Point of intersection with x-axis is (4, 0) and point of intersection with y-axis is (0,3)
