Exercise 13.1 Solutions
1. Express the following linear equations in the form ax + by + c = 0 and indicate the values of a, b and c in each case :
(i) -2x + 3y = 12
(ii) x - y/2 - 5 = 0
(iii) 2x + 3y = 9.35
(iv) 3x = -7y
Solution
(i) We have
-2x + 3y = 12
⇒ -2x + 3y - 12 = 0
On comparing this equation with ax + by + c = 0 we obtain a = -2, b = 3 and c = -12.
(ii) Given that
x - y/2 - 5 = 0
1x - y/2 - 5 = 0
On comparing this equation with ax + by + c = 0 we obtain a = 1, b = -1/2 and c = -5
(iii) Given that
2x + 3y = 9.35
⇒ 2x + 3y - 9.35 = 0
On comparing this equation with ax + by +c = 0 we get a = 2, b = 3 and c = 9.35
(iv) 3x = -7y ⇒ 3x + 7y + 0 = 0
On comparing this equation with ax + by + c = 0 we get a = 3, b = 0 and c = 3
(v) We have
2x + 3 = 0
2x + 0(y) + 3 = 0
On comparing this equation with ax + by + c = 0 we get a = 2, b = 0 and c = 3
(vi) Given that
y - 5 = 0
⇒ 0x + 1y - 5 = 0
On comparing this equation with ax + by + c = 0 we get a = 0, b = 1 and c = -5
(vii) We have
4 = x
-3x + 0.y + 4 = 0
On comparing the equation with ax + by + c = 0 we get a = -3, b = 0 and c = 4
(viii) Given that,
y = x/2
⇒ 2y = x
⇒ x - 2y + 0 = 0
On comparing this equation with ax + by + c = 0 we get a = 1, b = -2 and c = 0
2. Write each of the following as an equation in two variables:
(i) 2x = - 3
(ii) y = 3
(iii) 5x = 7/2
(iv) y = 3x/2
Solution
(i) We have
2x = - 3
⇒ 2x + 3 = 0
⇒ 2x + 0.y + 3 = 0
(ii) We have,
y = 3
y - 3 = 0
⇒ 0.x + 1.y - 3 = 0
(iii) Given
5x = 7/2
10x - 7 = 0
10x + 0.y - 7 = 0
(iv) We have
y = 3x/2
3x - 2y = 0
3x - 2y + 0 = 0
3. The cost of ball pen is Rs. 5 less than half of the cost of fountain pen. Write this statement as a linear equation in two variables.
Solution
Let us assume the cost of the ball pen be Rs. x and that of a fountain pen to be y then according to given statements
We have
x = y/2 - 5
⇒ 2x = y - 10
⇒ 2x - y + 10 = 0
