Linear Equation in

two variable
 A linear equation in two variables is an
equation that can be written in the form
Linear Equation ax + by = c
where a, b and c are real numbers,
in two variable
General form : ax + by = c
 Solve for y in General form
Terms of x. ax + by = c Constant
ax + by = c
by= -ax + c

 Tell whether if the following is a linear
equation in two variables.

 Two variable ( x, y ), (y, z) etc.

 Should be in the 1st degree. – linear

1. x+ y = 4
2. 2x = 4y -2
3. 5x – 3= 12
4. 12= 2x + 3y
5.

Determine the ordered pairs so that they satisfy the equation
2x + 4y = 20

 Look for y for the given values of x

x 2 3 4 5
y 4 7/2 3 5/2

 Substitution method
2(3) + 4y = 20 2(4) + 4y = 20 2(5) + 4y = 20
2(2) + 4y = 20
6 + 4y = 20 8 + 4y = 20 10 + 4y = 20
4 + 4y = 20
4y 4y 4y

 Plot the equation
2x + 4y = 20

x 2 3 4 5
y 4 7/2 3 5/2

(3,7/2) The graph of
(4,3) any linear
(5, 5/2) equation in two
variable is
always a straight
line.

Tell whether if the following is a solution to the linear equation
or not.

1. (2, 3) x + 4y=12
2. X= 4; y=3 2x + 3y = 17
3. X= -2; y =5 -3x- 4y = -14
4. (-5, -2) - 5x + 2y = -21
5. (0,6) - x + 2y = 10

 Calculating x and y- intercept
y= 2x -2

1 x- intercept
st
2nd y- intercept
set y = 0
set x = 0
0= 2x -2
y= 2(0) -2
2=2x
y=-2 X and Y- intercept are
y= -2 point in a line that
1= x crosses x and y axis.
