Question
Show graphically that the following system of equation is in-consistent (i.e. has no solution):
x - 2y = 6
3x - 6y = 0

Answer

The given equations are,
x - 2y = 6 .......(i)
3x - 6y = 0 ........(ii)
From (i), $\text{y}=\frac{\text{x}-6}{2}\ ......(\text{iii})$
Putting x = 0 in (iii), we get y = -3
Putting x = 2 in (iii), we get y = -2
Putting x = 4 in (iii), we get y = -1
x

y

-1
From (ii), $\text{y}=\frac{3\text{x}}{6}\ ......(\text{iv})$
Putting x = 0 in (iv), we get y = 0
Putting x = 2 in (iii), we get y = 1
Putting x = 4 in (iii), we get y = 2
x

When we plot these points on graph paper we observe that both linesare parallel to each other means they have no solution so they are in-consistent.
