Have a problem buddies! please solve it!

Draw graph of following linear equation on the same axes (i)x+y=3 (ii)3x-2y=4 Also shade the region formed by their graphs and y- axis

@Soumyadeep help karo yaar!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

get a table of value for each and sketch the graph

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Please elaborate your answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For x+y=3, by rearranging, we have y=3-x. By substituting y=0 and x=0, we have y and x-intercepts respectively.|dw:1363618618288:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Similarly, for 3x-2y=4, by rearranging, we have x and y-intercepts. You can try to sketch the graph yourself by just connecting x-intercept and y-intercept together and extend it!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hey @agostino thanks man! please can you explain it in easy way than this!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The simplest way to tell you is because all the equations above are straight lines. From this, we can just find where the line cross the y-axis (y-intercept) and the x-axis (x-intercept) respectively. We can just connect these two points then we have a straight line described by the equation.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But my teacher said that each equation should have 3 solutions. Can u pls provide

OpenStudy (anonymous):

pls pls

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@agostino pls can u

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't really understand the part of "3 solutions"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Equations are equations, and 2 equations in 2D give you 1 solution, which is the coordinate of their intersection, unless they are parallel to each other.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Man! you gotta replace the x or y values with the numbers, I feel that part difficult

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The technique is rather simple. Consider an equation ax+by+c=0 You need at least 2 points to sketch a straight line. To do so, we set either x=0 or y=0. If we have y=0, we have ax+c=0, x=-c/a If we have x=0m we have by+c=0, y=-c/b Then you connect the points (-c/a,0) and (0,-c/b) and there you go, a straight line.
