PAIR OF LINEAR EQUATIONS IN TWO VARIABLES
%& = INTRODUCTION
Inclass IX, we have read about linear equations in two variables, A linear equation is a rational and integral
equation of the first degree.
For example, the equations : 3x + 2y =7, «fy = VB, y ~4x
wear equations in two variables,
since in each case
Neither nor y is undera radical sign ie, x and y are rational,
(@ Neither nory isin the denominator. o
Gi) The exponent of x and y in each term is one.
In general, ax + by +c= 0; a,b,c © R;a + Oand b+ Disa linear equation in two variables! equi
in two variables has an infinite number of solutions. The graph of a linear equaton in two vai
straight line. In this chapter, we shall study aboutsystems of linear equations in twovarlables ‘system
oflinear equations in two variablesand graphicaland algebraic methoxts of solving & linear equations
in two variables. In the end of the chapter, we shall be discussing sone applifafions ofiihear equations in two
variables in solving simple problems from differentareas.

Linear Equation : An equation in which the maximum power of variable is one is called
‘equation.
Gii)_Linear Equation in One Variable: An equation of the form ax + b = 0. where x is a variable, a,b are
real numbers and a =0/is called a linear equation in one variable.
Any value of the variable that satisfies the given equation is called a solution or rootof the equation.
Ex.x = 3 is a solution of 3x #2 = 11.
(v) Linear Equation in Two Variables : An equation of the form ax + by + ¢= 0, where a,b are real
numbers, a+ 0,b#0and x, y are variables is called linear equation in two variables.
Any pair of values of x & y which satisfies the equation ax + by +e 0is called a root or solution of it.
Ex.(x = Ly = 1) isa solution of 4x - y -3 = 0.
