Topics in Linear Equations in Two Variables

1

What is a Linear Equation in Two Variables?

  • A linear equation in two variables contains exactly two variables, usually x and y.
  • The standard form is ax + by + c = 0, where a and b are not both zero.
  • The degree (highest power) of each variable must be 1 — that is why it is called 'linear'.
2

Solutions of a Linear Equation in Two Variables

  • A solution of a linear equation in two variables is an ordered pair (x, y) that satisfies the equation.
  • An ordered pair is written as (x, y) — the x-value always comes first.
  • A linear equation in two variables has INFINITELY MANY solutions.
3

Word Problems – Forming Linear Equations

  • Real-world situations can be expressed as linear equations in two variables.
  • Identify the two unknown quantities and assign variables to them (usually x and y).
  • Translate the relationship given in the problem into a mathematical equation.
4

Graph of a Linear Equation in Two Variables

  • The graph of a linear equation in two variables is always a STRAIGHT LINE.
  • Every point (x, y) on the line is a solution of the equation, and every solution is a point on the line.
  • To draw the graph: find at least two solutions (ordered pairs), plot them on the Cartesian plane, and join them with a straight line.
