1. Is x = 3 and y = 2 the solution of the system of linear equations 3x – 2y = 5 and 2x + y = 7?

2. The pair of linear equations 2x + 3y = 5 and 3x + 7y = 10 represents

(a) Coincident lines (b) Parallel lines
(c) Intersecting lines (d) None of these

3. System of linear equations representing parallel lines is also known as___________.

4. The pair of linear equations

ax + by = c
lx + my = n (am ≠ bl)
has
(a) Unique solution
(b) No solutions
(c) Infinitely many solutions
(d) May or may not have a solution

5. The condition for the system of linear equations to be inconsistent is

a1 b1 a1 b1 c1
(a) ≠ (b) = =
a2 b2 a2 b2 c2
a1 bl c1
(c) = ≠ (d) None of these
a2 b2 c2

6. Solve graphically the system of linear equations :

5x – y = 7
x–y+1=0
Also, calculate the area bounded by these lines and the y-axis.

7. Show graphically that the system of linear equations 2x + y = 6 and 6x + 3y = 18 has infinitely many solutions.

8. Solve the following system of linear equations graphically.

2x + y – 5 = 0,
x+y–3=0
Also, find the points where these lines meet the y-axis

9. Show graphically that the system of linear equations 2x + 3y = 4 and 4x + 6y = 12 is inconsistent.

10. Two numbers are in the ratio 5 : 6. If 8 is subtracted from each of the numbers, the ratio becomes 4 : 5. Find the
numbers.
