Lesson Proper

Graphs of Linear Equations in Two Variables


A linear equation is an equation for a straight line it is an equation of the form reducible to
the form
ax + by = c
where a, b, and c are constants a, b ≠ 0 is called a linear equation in x and y.

Systems of Linear Equations

a.) Dependent Equations – The graphs


coincide, the solution is infinite.
x + 3y = 2
2x + 6y = 4
b.) Inconsistent Equations – The graphs are
parallel to each other.
There is no solution to the system.

3x – 2y = 1
6x – 4y = 5

c.) Consistent Equations – The graphs intersect,


there is a solution to the system
3x – y = 7
2x + 3y = 12
Solution (3, 2)

Solution of System of Equation

Example:
1. x + y = 3
3x – y = 1

a.) Graphical Method


Find the x and y intercepts
x+y=3
x = 0; y = 3
y = 0; x = 3

3x – y = 1
x = 0; y = -1
y = 0; x = 1/3
Solution (1, 2)
b.) Elimination Method (Addition or Subtraction)
x + y = 3; eq. 1
3x – y = 1; eq. 2

Add eq. 1 and eq. 2 to eliminate y


x+y=3
3x – y = 1
4x = 4
x=1

Substitute the value of x in any of the two equations


x+y=3
1+y=3
y=2
Solution: (1, 2)

c.) Substitution Method


x + y = 3; eq. 1
3x – y = 1; eq. 2

Solve for x or y in any of the two equations


(From eq. 1) x + y = 3 ; x=3–y

Substitute x = 3 – y in eq. 2
3(3 – y) – y = 1
9 – 3y – y = 1
- – 4y = 8
y=2

Substitute the value of y in any of the two equations.


Using eq.1
x+3=y
x=3–y
x=3–2
x=1
Solution: (1, 2)
2. 2x – 5y = -4
3x + 4y = 17

a.) Graphical Method


Find the x and y intercepts
2x – 5y = -4
x = 0; y = 4/5
y = 0; x = -2

3x + 4y = 17
x = 0; y = 17/4
y = 0; x = 17/3
Solution: (3, 2)

b.) Elimination Method


2x – 5y = -4
3x + 4y = 17

Multiply eq. 1 by 3 and eq. 2 by 2 to eliminate x


3(2x – 5y = -4); eq. 1
2(3x + 4y = 17); eq. 2
Subtract the two new equations
6x – 15y = -12
(-) 6x + 8y = 34
-23y = -46
y=2
Substitute the value of x in any of the two equations
using eq.1,
2x – 5 (2) = -4
2x = 6
x =3
Solution: (3, 2)

c.) Substitution Method


2x – 5y = -4; eq. 1
3x + 4y = -17; eq. 2

Solve for x in eq. 1


2x = -4 + 5y
−4+5𝑦
x= ; eq. 3
2
Substitute eq. 3 in eq. 2.
3(−4+5𝑦)
(2)
+ 4y = 17
-12 + 15y + 8y = 34
23y = 46
y=2
Solve for x using eq. 3
−4+5(2)
x= 2
x = 6/2
x=3
Solution: (3, 2)
