Key Topics to Revise
1
Basic Concepts and Definitions
- A linear equation in two variables x and y has the form ax + by + c = 0, where a, b, c are real numbers and a² + b² ≠ 0
- A pair of linear equations in two variables consists of two such equations considered together
- The solution of a pair is the common solution that satisfies both equations simultaneously
2
Types of Solutions Based on Line Relationships
- Three possible relationships: intersecting lines (unique solution), parallel lines (no solution), coincident lines (infinite solutions)
- The relationship can be determined by comparing ratios of coefficients
- Use ratio comparison method: a₁/a₂, b₁/b₂, and c₁/c₂
3
Graphical Method
- Plot both equations as straight lines on coordinate plane
- Find intersection point if lines meet
- Solution is the coordinates of intersection point
4
Substitution Method
- Express one variable in terms of the other from either equation
- Substitute this expression into the other equation
- Solve the resulting single-variable equation
