$2 x+3 y=8$
$x-2 y+3=0$
On a graph paper, draw a horizontal line X'OX and a vertical line YOY' as the x-axis and y-axis, respectively.
Graph of $2 x+3 y=8$
2x + 3y = 8
⇒ 3y = (8 − 2x)
$\therefore y=\frac{8-2 x}{3}$ .............(i)
Putting x = 1, we get y = 2.
Putting x = −5, we get y = 6.
Putting x = 7, we get y = −2.
Thus, we have the following table for the equation 2x + 3y = 8.
Now, plot the points A(1, 2), B(5, −6) and C(7, −2) on the graph paper.
Join AB and AC to get the graph line BC. Extend it on both ways.
Thus, BC is the graph of 2x + 3y = 8.
Graph of $x-2 y+3=0$
x − 2y + 3 = 0
⇒ 2y = (x + 3)
$\therefore y=\frac{x+3}{2}$ ..........(ii)
Putting x = 1, we get y = 2.
Putting x = 3, we get y = 3.
Putting x = −3, we get y = 0.
Thus, we have the following table for the equation x − 2y + 3 = 0.
Now, plot the points P(3, 3) and Q(−3, 0). The point A(1, 2) has already been plotted. Join AP and QA and extend it on both ways.
Thus, PQ is the graph of x − 2y + 3 = 0.
The two graph lines intersect at A(1, 2).
∴ x = 1 and y = 2
