Linear Equation in Two Variables 4

This document discusses linear equations in two variables. It defines the standard form of a linear equation as ax + by + c = 0 and notes that linear equations have infinitely many solutions given by ordered pairs (x,y). It explains that the x-axis is horizontal and y-axis is vertical, with the origin at (0,0). Any point whose coordinates satisfy the equation lies on the line. Two examples are then given to illustrate drawing the graph of linear equations: x + y = 7 and an equation representing the direct proportionality of force and acceleration.

Linear Equation in Two Variables – 4

We have learnt:
 The Linear Equation in Two Variables in the Standard form is ax + by + c = 0
 a linear equation in two variables has infinitely many solutions.
 The Solutions are mentioned in Ordered Pairs (x, y)
 (x, y) ≠(y, x)
 X-axis is horizontal (Left to Right) and Y-axis is Vertical (Top to Bottom)
 The Point of intersection of the Axis is Called Origin and has coordinates as (0,0)
 Every point whose coordinates satisfy Equation lies on the line AB.

 Every point (a, b) on the line AB gives a solution x = a, y = b of Equation

 Any point, which does not lie on the line AB, is not a solution of Equation
 The reason that a, degree one, polynomial equation ax + by + c = 0 is called a linear equation is that
its geometrical representation is a straight line

Example 7 : You know that the force applied on a body is directly proportional to the
acceleration produced in the body. Write an equation to express this situation and plot the
graph of the equation.

Solution: Let the force applied be y units and the acceleration produced be x units. From
ratio and proportion, you can express this fact as
y∝x
y = kx, where k is a constant.
since we do not know what k is, we cannot draw the precise graph of y = kx. However, if we
give a certain value to k, then we can draw the graph. Let us take k = 3, i.e., we draw the line
representing y = 3x.
y = 3x
