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
