Question
Solve graphically the simultaneous equations given below. Take the scale as $2 \ cm = 1$ unit onboth the axes.$x - 2y - 4 = 0;2x + y = 3$

Answer

$x - 2y - 4 = 0$
$\Rightarrow x = 2y + 4$
The table for$ x - 2y - 4 = 0$ is
$X$ $4$ $6$ $2$
$Y$ $0$ $1$ $- 1$
Also we have
$2x + y = 3$
$\Rightarrow 2x = 3 - y$
$\Rightarrow x =\frac{3-y}{2}$
The table for $2x + y = 3$ is
$X$ $1$ $0$ $2$
$Y$ $1$ $3$ $- 1$
Plotting the above points we get the following required graph:

From the above graph, it is dear that the two lines $x - 2y - 4 = 0$ and $2x + y = 3 $ intersect at the point $(2, -1)$
