INTRODUCTION:
- For any linear equation, each solution (x, y) corresponds to a point on the line.
General form is given by ax + by + c = 0. where a,b and c are real numbers (a,b ≠ 0) is called a linear equation in two variables x and y. - A pair of linear equations in two variables can be represented and solved, by
(i) Graphical method
