Topics in Pair of Linear Equations in Two Variables

1

1. Basic Ideas and Types of Solutions

  • A pair of linear equations in two variables can be written in general form as a1x + b1y + c1 = 0 and a2x + b2y + c2 = 0.
  • The lines may intersect in a single point, giving a unique solution and a consistent pair of equations.
  • The lines may be parallel, giving no solution and an inconsistent pair of equations.
2

2. Graphical Method and Its Interpretation

  • A graphical solution is found by drawing both lines and identifying their point of intersection.
  • If the lines intersect, the solution is the coordinates of the common point.
  • If the lines coincide, every point on the line is a solution.
3

3. Substitution Method

  • The substitution method is called so because one variable is substituted by expressing it in terms of the other.
  • First, write one variable in terms of the other from one equation.
  • Then substitute that expression into the second equation.
4

4. Elimination Method

  • The elimination method is called so because one variable is eliminated first to get a linear equation in one variable.
  • First multiply the equations by suitable non-zero constants so that the coefficients of one variable become equal.
  • Then add or subtract the equations to eliminate that variable.
