Question

Draw the graph of each of the equations given below. Also, find the coordinates of the points where the graph cuts the coordinate axes :

(i) 6x – 3y = 12 

(ii) - x + 4y = 8 

(iii) 2x + y = 6 

(iv) 3x + 2y + 6 = 0

Answer 1

(i) 6x – 3y = 12

It cuts the coordinate axis at (2, 0) and (0, -4)

(ii) –x + 4y = 8

It cuts the coordinate axis at (-8, 0) and (0, 2) 

(iii) 2x + y = 6

It cuts the coordinate axis at (0, 6) and (3, 0)

(iv) 3x + 2y + 6 = 0

It cuts the coordinate axis at (-2, 0) and (0, -3)
