Chapter 4: Linear Equations in Two Variables

Exercise 4.2 - Solutions

Question 1

y=3x+5y = 3x + 5 has how many solutions?

(iii) Infinitely many solutions


Question 2

Write 4 solutions of 2x+y=72x + y = 7:

  • (0,7)(0, 7)
  • (1,5)(1, 5)
  • (2,3)(2, 3)
  • (3,1)(3, 1)

Question 3

Check if solutions of x2y=4x - 2y = 4:

(iii) (4,0)(4, 0): 40=44 - 0 = 4 ✓ → Yes


Question 4

Find kk if (2,1)(2, 1) is solution of 2x+3y=k2x + 3y = k:

2(2)+3(1)=k2(2) + 3(1) = k k=7k = 7
