lass IX Math NCERT Solution for Linear Equations in Two Variables 4.4
EXERCISE: 4.4
1. Give the geometric representations of y = 3 as an equation
(i) in one variable (ii) in two variables
Sol: (i) y = 3 [An equation in one variable]
∵ y = 3 is an equation in one variable, i.e. y only.
∴ It has a unique solution y = 3 as shown on the number line shown here.
The unique solution is a point.
(ii) y = 3 [An equation in two variables]
We can write y = 3 as
0.x + y = 3
Now, when x = 1, y = 3
when x = 2, y = 3
when x = 3, y = 3
We get the following table:
Plotting the ordered pairs (1, 3), (2, 3) and (3, 3) on a graph paper, we get a line AB as solution of 0.x + y = 3, i.e. y = 3.
2. Give the geometric representations of 2x + 9 = 0 as an equation
(i) in one variable (ii) in two variables
Sol: (i) 2x + 9 = 0 [An equation in one variable]
We have: 2x + 9 = 0 ⇒ 2x = –9
Which is a linear equation in one variable 'x' only. Its solution is the point on the number line as shown below.
(ii) 2x + 9 = 0 [An equation in two variables]
We can write 2x + 9 = 0 as 2x + 0y + 9 = 0 or 2x = –9 + 0y
Thus, we get the following table:
Now, plotting the ordered pairs
on a graph paper and joinging them, we get a line PQ as solution of 2x + 9 = 0.
