Draw the graphs of the following equations on the same graph paper.
$2 x+3 y=12$
$x-y=1$
Find the coordinates of the vertices of the triangle formed by the two straight lines and theĀ y-axis.
The given equations are
$2 x+3 y=12$$\ldots(i)$
$x-y=1$...(ii)
Putting $x=0$ in equation $(i)$, we get:
$\Rightarrow 2 \times 0+3 y=12$
$\Rightarrow y=4$
$x=0, \quad y=4$
Putting $y=0$ in equation $(i,$, we get:
$\Rightarrow x+3 \times 0=6$
$\Rightarrow x=6$
$x=6, \quad y=0$
Use the following table to draw the graph.
Draw the graph by plotting the two points $A(0,2)$ and $B(6,0)$ from table.
$x-y=1$ ... (ii)
Putting $x=0$ in equation (ii) we get:
$\Rightarrow 0-y=1$
$\Rightarrow y=-1$
$x=0, \quad y=-1$
Putting $y=0$ in equation $(i i)$, we get:
$\Rightarrow x-0=1$
$\Rightarrow x=1$
$x=1, \quad y=0$
Use the following table to draw the graph.
Draw the graph by plotting the two points $C(0,-1), D(1,0)$ from table.
Draw the graph by plotting the two points from table.
The intersection point is P(3, 2)
Three points of the triangle are $A(0,4), C(0,-1)$ and $P(3,2)$.
Hence the value of $x=3$ and $y=2$
