Show graphically that each one of the following systems of equations has infinitely many solutions:
$2 x+3 y=6$
$4 x+6 y=12$
The given equations are
$2 x+3 y=6$ (i)
$4 x+6 y=12$ (ii)
Putting $x=0$ in equation $(i)$, we get:
$\Rightarrow 2 \times 0+3 y=6$
$\Rightarrow y=2$
$x=0, \quad y=2$
Putting $y=0$ in equation $(i,$, we get:
$\Rightarrow 2 x+3 x=6$
$\Rightarrow x=3$
$x=3, \quad y=0$
Use the following table to draw the graph.
Draw the graph by plotting the two points $A(0,2)$ and $B(3,0)$ from table.
Graph of the equation....(ii):
$4 x+6 y=12$. .(ii)
Putting $x=0$ in equation (ii) we get:
$\Rightarrow 4 \times 0+6 y=12$
$\Rightarrow y=2$
$x=0, \quad y=2$
Putting $y=0$ in equation $(i i)$, we get:
$\Rightarrow 4 x+6 \times 0=12$
$\Rightarrow x=3$
$x=3, \quad y=0$
Use the following table to draw the graph.
Draw the graph by plotting the two points $C(0,2), D(3,0)$ from table.
Thus the graph of the two equations coincide
Consequently, every solution of one equation is a solution of the other.
Hence the equations have infinitely many solutions.
