Great! Let’s take another problem and format it according to the CBSE examination style. Here’s an example for Practice Problem 8: Intersection of Two Lines:
Question
Find the point of intersection of the lines x+2y=4x + 2y = 4 and 3x−y=53x – y = 5.
Solution
Step 1: Write the given equations
The given equations are:
(1)x+2y=4(1) \quad x + 2y = 4 (2)3x−y=5.(2) \quad 3x – y = 5.
Step 2: Solve the equations simultaneously
From equation (1):
x=4−2y.(3)x = 4 – 2y \tag{3}.
Substitute x=4−2yx = 4 – 2y into equation (2):
3(4−2y)−y=5.3(4 – 2y) – y = 5.
Simplify:
12−6y−y=5.12 – 6y – y = 5. 12−7y=5⇒7y=12−5=7.12 – 7y = 5 \quad \Rightarrow \quad 7y = 12 – 5 = 7. y=1.y = 1.
Substitute y=1y = 1 into equation (3):
x=4−2(1)=4−2=2.x = 4 – 2(1) = 4 – 2 = 2.
Step 3: Write the solution
The point of intersection is:
(2,1).(2, 1).
Graphical Representation
The graph below shows the lines x+2y=4x + 2y = 4 and 3x−y=53x – y = 5, intersecting at the point (2,1)(2, 1).
Graph Explanation
- The blue line represents the equation x+2y=4x + 2y = 4.
- The orange line represents the equation 3x−y=53x – y = 5.
- The lines intersect at the point (2,1)(2, 1), which is highlighted in red.
- Let’s tackle another problem formatted for the CBSE Class 9 Mathematics examination pattern. Here’s a new example:
Question
Draw the graph of the linear equation 2x+3y=122x + 3y = 12. Use the graph to find:
- The xx– and yy-intercepts.
- The coordinates of a point where y=2y = 2.
Solution
Step 1: Rewrite the equation
The given equation is:
2x+3y=12.2x + 3y = 12.Rewriting in slope-intercept form (y=mx+cy = mx + c):
3y=−2x+12⇒y=−23x+4.3y = -2x + 12 \quad \Rightarrow \quad y = -\frac{2}{3}x + 4.
Step 2: Find intercepts
- xx-Intercept: Set y=0y = 0:2x+3(0)=12⇒x=122=6.2x + 3(0) = 12 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x = \frac{12}{2} = 6.So, (6,0)(6, 0).
- yy-Intercept: Set x=0x = 0:2(0)+3y=12⇒y=123=4.2(0) + 3y = 12 \quad \Rightarrow \quad y = \frac{12}{3} = 4.So, (0,4)(0, 4).
Step 3: Find coordinates for y=2y = 2
Substitute y=2y = 2 into the equation 2x+3y=122x + 3y = 12:
2x+3(2)=12⇒2x+6=12⇒2x=6⇒x=3.2x + 3(2) = 12 \quad \Rightarrow \quad 2x + 6 = 12 \quad \Rightarrow \quad 2x = 6 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x = 3.So, the point is (3,2)(3, 2).
Step 4: Plot the graph
Plot the points (6,0)(6, 0), (0,4)(0, 4), and (3,2)(3, 2) on the graph and draw the line representing 2x+3y=122x + 3y = 12.
Graphical Representation
Let’s visualize the graph of the equation.
Graph Explanation
- The blue line represents the equation 2x+3y=122x + 3y = 12.
- The red point is the xx-intercept (6,0)(6, 0), where the line crosses the x-axis.
- The green point is the yy-intercept (0,4)(0, 4), where the line crosses the y-axis.
- The purple point is (3,2)(3, 2), the solution for y=2y = 2.
Final Answer
- Intercepts:
- xx-Intercept: (6,0)(6, 0).
- yy-Intercept: (0,4)(0, 4).
- Point where y=2y = 2: (3,2)(3, 2).
