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
    (ii) Algebraic method
  • Algebraic Methods: The following methods are used for finding the solution (s) of a pair of  linear equations:

      1. Substitution  Method
      2. Elimination    Method
      3. Cross – multiplication   Method
  • General form of a linear pair of equations in two variables is
  • The graph of a linear equation is a straight line.
