Linear Equations Two Variables

Linear equations in two variables are algebraic equations that can be expressed in the standard form ax + by + c = 0, where a, b, and c are real numbers. These equations have infinitely many solutions, which can be represented graphically as straight lines. The document includes examples, methods for finding solutions, and common mistakes to avoid.

Linear Equations in Two Variables

Chapter Overview with Solved


Examples
What is a Linear Equation?
• A linear equation is an algebraic equation in
which each term is either a constant or the
product of a constant and a single variable.

• Example: x + 2 = 0
Linear Equation in Two Variables
• Standard form: ax + by + c = 0
• Where:
• - a, b, and c are real numbers
• - x and y are variables

• Example: 2x + 3y = 6
One Variable vs Two Variables
• Linear Equation in One Variable: x + 2 = 0
(solution is a point)
• Linear Equation in Two Variables: x + y = 3
(solution is a line)
Real-life Examples
• 1. Total cost = fixed cost + variable cost (C = F +
Vx)
• 2. Speed = Distance/Time
• 3. Budgeting: Income = Expenses
Infinite Solutions
• A linear equation in two variables has
infinitely many solutions.

• Example: x + y = 4
• Solutions include: (0,4), (2,2), (4,0)
Solution Table Example
• For equation x + y = 5:

• |x|y|
• |---|---|
• |0|5|
• |1|4|
• |2|3|
Checking a Solution (Solved
Example)
• Is (2, 3) a solution of x + y = 5?
• Substitute: 2 + 3 = 5 → ✅ Yes, it is a solution.
Graph of a Linear Equation
• Graph of x + y = 4
• Points: (0,4), (2,2), (4,0)
• Plot the points and draw a straight line
through them.
Steps to Draw the Graph
• 1. Convert to y = mx + c if needed
• 2. Choose x-values and compute y
• 3. Plot at least 2 points
• 4. Draw the line
Finding Intercepts (Example: x + y =
6)
• x-intercept: y = 0 → x = 6 → (6, 0)
• y-intercept: x = 0 → y = 6 → (0, 6)
Special Cases
• 1. x = a → vertical line
• 2. y = b → horizontal line
• 3. y = x → 45° diagonal line
Word Problem (Solved Example)
• Ravi buys pens at ₹10 each. Total cost = 10x
• If he buys 5 pens: Total = 10×5 = ₹50
Practice Questions
• 1. Plot the graph of 2x + y = 6
• 2. Is (3,1) a solution of x + y = 4?
• 3. Find 3 solutions of x - y = 2
Common Mistakes
• ❌ Using only one point to draw graph
• ❌ Forgetting to check solution
• ❌ Confusing x- and y-intercepts
Summary
• - Linear equations in 2 variables form straight
lines
• - Infinite solutions possible
• - Solutions can be represented graphically
