Question
Solve the following system of equations graphically:
Shade the region between the lines and the y-axis.
3x - 4y = 7,
5x + 2y = 3.

Answer

The given equations are,
3x - 4y = 7 ......(i)
5x + 2y = 3 ........(ii)
From (i), $\text{y}=\frac{3\text{x}-7}{4}\ .....(\text{iii})$
Putting x = -3 in equations (iii), we get y = -4
Putting x = 1 in equations (ii), we get y = -1
x
-3
1
y
-4
-1

From (ii), $\text{y}=\frac{3-5\text{x}}{2}\ ......(\text{iv})$
Putting x = 1 in equations (ii), we get y = -1
Putting x = -1 in equations (ii), we get y = 4
x
1
-1
y
-1
4
Clearly, from the graph that these two lines intersect each other at point (1, -1) so solution of these equation x = 1 and y = -1.
