y-axis y-axis

x-axis x-axis

Q2. On a sheet of graph paper and using the graphical method, solve each of the
following pairs of simultaneous equations.
a. 𝒚 = 𝒙 + 𝟐
𝒚 = −𝟐𝒙 + 𝟐

𝒙
𝒚=𝒙−𝟐

𝒙
𝒚 = −𝟐𝒙 + 𝟐

Point of intersection: ____________

 𝒃. 𝟑𝒙 + 𝒚 = 𝟏𝟑
𝟓𝒙 − 𝒚 = 𝟑𝟓

𝒙
𝟑𝒙 + 𝒚 = 𝟏𝟑

𝒙
𝟓𝒙 − 𝒚 = 𝟑𝟓

Point of intersection: ____________

𝟏 𝟏
𝒄. 𝒙+ 𝒚=𝟏
𝟐 𝟐
𝟏 𝟏 𝟏
− 𝒙− 𝒚=𝟏
𝟓 𝟐 𝟏𝟎
