Question 2(i)

Express the following linear equations in the form ax + by + c = 0 and indicate the values of a, b and c in each case :

2x + 3y = 9.35‾9.3\overline{5}

Answer

Given,

⇒ 2x + 3y = 9.35‾9.3\overline{5}

On re-arranging the equation, we have :

⇒ 2x + 3y - 9.35‾9.3\overline{5} = 0

⇒ (2)x + (3)y + (-9.35‾9.3\overline{5}) = 0

Comparing above equation with ax + by + c = 0, we get :

a = 2, b = 3 and c = -9.35‾9.3\overline{5}

Hence, linear equation : 2x + 3y - 9.35‾9.3\overline{5} = 0, a = 2, b = 3 and c = -9.35‾9.3\overline{5}.

Linear Equations in Two Variables — Interactive Study Guide

Infinite Solutions

A linear equation in two variables has infinitely many solutions. Each solution is a point on the line. The line extends forever in both directions.

Key Concept: One equation, two unknowns = infinite solutions. You need TWO equations to get a unique solution (Class X topic).

Graphing Made Easy

  1. Rewrite as y = mx + c.
  2. Make a table: choose 3 values of x, calculate y for each.
  3. Plot the 3 points. If they’re collinear, draw the line.

Special Lines

y = 3: Horizontal line, 3 units above x-axis.

x = −2: Vertical line, 2 units left of y-axis.

y = x: Line at 45° through origin.

Quick Self-Check

  1. Is (2, 3) a solution of x + y = 5? (Yes: 2 + 3 = 5)
  2. Give 3 solutions of y = 2x. ((0,0), (1,2), (2,4))
  3. What is the equation of the x-axis? (y = 0)
