    ‭Chapter 4: Linear Equations in Two Variables‬

    ‭1. Introduction‬

    ‭●‬ A
    ‭ linear equation in two variables is of the form ax+by+c=0, where a, b, and c are‬
    ‭real numbers.‬

    ‭2. Graphical Representation‬

    ‭●‬ ‭The graph of a linear equation in two variables is a straight line.‬

    ‭3. Solutions of a Linear Equation‬

    ‭‬ E
    ● ‭ ach point on the line is a solution to the equation.‬
    ‭●‬ ‭There are infinitely many solutions.‬

    ‭4. Equations of Lines Parallel to Axes‬

    ‭‬ T
    ● ‭ he equation x=a represents a line parallel to the y-axis.‬
    ‭●‬ ‭The equation y=b represents a line parallel to the x-axis.‬

    ‭Solved Examples:‬

    ‭1. The cost of a notebook is twice the cost of a pen. Write a linear equation in‬
    ‭two variables to represent this statement.‬

    ‭(Take the cost of a notebook to be ₹ x and that of a pen to be ₹ y)‬

    ‭Solution:‬

    ‭Let the cost of a notebook be = ₹ x‬

    ‭Let the cost of a pen be = ₹ y‬

    ‭According to the question,‬

    ‭The cost of a notebook is twice the cost of a pen.‬

    ‭i.e., cost of a notebook = 2×cost of a pen‬

    ‭x = 2×y‬

    ‭x = 2y‬
    ‭x-2y = 0‬

    ‭x-2y = 0 is the linear equation in two variables to represent the statement, ‘The cost‬
    ‭of a notebook is twice the cost of a pen.’‬

    ‭2. Check which of the following are solutions of the equation x–2y = 4 and‬
    ‭which are not:‬

    ‭(i) (0, 2)‬

    ‭(ii) (2, 0)‬

    ‭(iii) (4, 0)‬

    ‭(iv) (√2, 4√2)‬

    ‭(v) (1, 1)‬

    ‭Solutions:‬

    ‭(i) (0, 2)‬

    ‭(x,y) = (0,2)‬

    ‭Here, x=0 and y=2‬

    ‭Substituting the values of x and y in the equation x–2y = 4, we get,‬

    ‭x–2y = 4‬

    ‭⟹ 0 – (2×2) = 4‬

    ‭But, -4 ≠ 4‬

    ‭(0, 2) is‬‭not‬‭a solution of the equation x–2y = 4‬

    ‭(ii) (2, 0)‬

    ‭(x,y) = (2, 0)‬

    ‭Here, x = 2 and y = 0‬
    ‭Substituting the values of x and y in the equation x -2y = 4, we get,‬

    ‭x -2y = 4‬

    ‭⟹ 2-(2×0) = 4‬

    ‭⟹ 2 -0 = 4‬

    ‭But, 2 ≠ 4‬

    ‭(2, 0) is‬‭not‬‭a solution of the equation x-2y = 4‬

    ‭(iii) (4, 0)‬

    ‭Solution:‬

    ‭(x,y) = (4, 0)‬

    ‭Here, x= 4 and y=0‬

    ‭Substituting the values of x and y in the equation x -2y = 4, we get,‬

    ‭x–2y = 4‬

    ‭⟹ 4 – 2×0 = 4‬

    ‭⟹ 4-0 = 4‬

    ‭⟹ 4 = 4‬

    ‭(4, 0) is a solution of the equation x–2y = 4‬

    ‭(iv) (√2,4√2)‬

    ‭Solution:‬

    ‭(x,y) = (√2,4√2)‬

    ‭Here, x = √2 and y = 4√2‬

    ‭Substituting the values of x and y in the equation x–2y = 4, we get,‬


    ‭x –2y = 4‬

    ‭⟹ √2-(2×4√2) = 4‬

    ‭√2-8√2 = 4‬

    ‭But, -7√2 ≠ 4‬

    ‭(√2,4√2) is‬‭not‬‭a solution of the equation x–2y =‬‭4‬

    ‭(v) (1, 1)‬

    ‭Solution:‬

    ‭(x,y) = (1, 1)‬

    ‭Here, x= 1 and y= 1‬

    ‭Substituting the values of x and y in the equation x–2y = 4, we get,‬

    ‭x –2y = 4‬

    ‭⟹ 1 -(2×1) = 4‬

    ‭⟹ 1-2 = 4‬

    ‭But, -1 ≠ 4‬

    ‭(1, 1) is‬‭not‬‭a solution of the equation x–2y = 4‬
