Question
Solve the following simultaneous equation graphically.
2x – 3y = 4 ; 3y – x = 4

Answer

The given simultaneous equations are
$2 x-3 y=4$
$\therefore \quad 3 y=2 x-4$
$\therefore \quad y=\frac{2 x-4}{3}$
x2-158
y0-224
(x. y)(2, 0)(-1, -2)(-5, 2)(8, 4)
$3 y-x=4$
$\therefore \quad 3 y=x+4$
$\therefore \quad y=\frac{x+4}{3}$
x2-45-1
y2031
(x. y)(2, 2)(-4, -0)(5, 3)(-1, 1)

The two lines intersect at point (8, 4).
∴ x = 8 and y = 4 is the solution of the simultaneous equations 2x – 3y = 4 and 3y – x = 4.
