Chapter 4: Linear Equations in Two Variables

Exercise 4.1 - Solutions

Question 1

Cost of notebook = 2 × cost of pen. Write linear equation.

Let notebook = x, pen = y

Equation: x=2yx = 2y or x2y=0x - 2y = 0


Question 2

Express in form ax+by+c=0ax + by + c = 0:

(i) 2x+3y=9.352x + 3y = 9.352x+3y9.35=02x + 3y - 9.35 = 0 a=2a = 2, b=3b = 3, c=9.35c = -9.35

(iv) x=3yx = 3yx3y+0=0x - 3y + 0 = 0 a=1a = 1, b=3b = -3, c=0c = 0
