Linear Equation in 2 Variable

The document discusses linear equations in two variables, detailing methods for solving them including graphical and algebraic approaches. It categorizes pairs of equations as consistent (with one or infinitely many solutions) or inconsistent (with no solutions), and explains the concepts of intersecting, parallel, and coinciding lines. Additionally, it provides examples of solving linear equations using substitution and elimination methods.

Linear Equation in 2

variable
-Neshakumaran
X-E
Parts of linear equation
Introduction

 A pair of linear equation in 2 variable can be solved by


 Graphical method
 Unique solution

 Infinitely many solution

 No solution

 Algebraic method
 substitution

 elimination
General form of pair of linear equation
in 2 variable
 𝑎1 𝑥 + 𝑏1 𝑦 + 𝑐1 = 0
 𝑎2 𝑥 + 𝑏2 𝑦 + 𝑐2 = 0
 Where a1 ,b1 ,a2 ,b2 and c2 are all real numbers and a1 ,b1 ,a2 ,b2 are not
all zero
Consistent pair

 A pair of equation is said to be consistent if it at least one solution

one solution , infinite solutions are consistent but, zero solution isn’t consistent
Inconsistent pair

 A pair of linear equation having no solution is called inconsistent pair

eg - Parallel lines

 They are independent


Intersecting lines - 1 solution

 A pair of linear equations in two


variables, which has a solution, is
called a consistent pair of linear
equations.
Graph-Intersecting lines

 The equation of
 2x + 3y = 6
 4x + 7y = 12
Is intersecting line
On comparing with general equation

 2x + 3y = 6
 4x + 7y = 12

𝑎1 2 𝑏1 3
= ≠ =
𝑎2 4 𝑏2 7

it is intersecting line so it is consistent


Parallel lines - 0 solutions

 A pair of linear equations which


has no solution is called an
inconsistent pair of linear
equations.
Graph- parallel lines

 The equation of
 2x + 3y = 6
 4x + 6y = 15
is parallel line.
On comparing with general equation

 2x + 3y = 6
 4x + 6y = 15

𝑎1 2 𝑏1 3 𝐶1 6
= = = ≠ =
𝑎2 4 𝑏2 6 𝐶2 15

it is parallel so it is independent and inconsistent


Coinciding lines - ∞ solution

A pair of linear equations which are


equivalent has infinitely many distinct
common solutions.
Such a pair is called a dependent pair
of linear equations in two variables.
Graph- coinciding lines

 The equation of
 2x + 3y = 6
 4x + 6y = 12
is parallel line.
On comparing with general equation

 2x + 3y = 6
 4x + 6y = 13

𝑎1 2 𝑏1 3 𝐶1 6
= = = = =
𝑎2 4 𝑏2 6 𝐶2 12

it is coinciding so it is dependent and consistent


problems

1) Equation 1: x + y = 5

Equation 2: 2x – 3y = 4

2) Equation 1: 7x – 15y = 2

Equation 2: x + 2y = 3
1st problem using substitution method

x = 5 – y (from 1st eq)

Substitute x = 5 – y into Equation 2:

2(5 – y) – 3y = 4 10 – 2y – 3y = 4 10 – 5y = 4

–5y = –6 y = 6⁄5

Substitute back into Equation 1:

x = 5 – 6⁄5 = (25⁄5 – 6⁄5) = 19⁄5

 Final Answer: x = 19⁄5, y = 6⁄5


1st problem using elimination method

Multiply Equation 1 by 2:

2x + 2y = 10

Subtract Equation 2:

(2x + 2y) – (2x – 3y) = 10 – 4

2x + 2y – 2x + 3y = 6

5y = 6 y = 6⁄5

Substitute back: x = 19⁄5

 Same Final Answer: x = 19⁄5, y = 6⁄5


2nd problem using substitution method

x = 3 – 2y (from 1st eq)

Substitute into Equation 1:

7(3 – 2y) – 15y = 2 21 – 14y – 15y = 2 21 – 29y = 2

–29y = –19 y = 19⁄29

Substitute back into Equation 2:

x = 3 – (38⁄29) = (87⁄29 – 38⁄29) = 49⁄29

 Final Answer: x = 49⁄29, y = 19⁄29


2nd problem using elimination method

Multiply Equation 2 by 7:

7x + 14y = 21

Subtract Equation 1:

(7x + 14y) – (7x – 15y) = 21 – 2

7x + 14y – 7x + 15y = 19

29y = 19 y = 19⁄29

Substitute back: x = 49⁄29

 Same Final Answer: x = 49⁄29, y = 19⁄29
