Question 14 Marks
Draw the graph $($straight line$)$ given by equation $x - 3y = 18$. If the straight line is drawn passes through the points $(m, - 5)$ and $(6, n);$ find the values of $m$ and $n.$
Answer
Consider the equation
$x - 3y = 18$
$\Rightarrow - 3y = 18 - x$
$\Rightarrow 3y = x - 18$
$\Rightarrow y =\frac{x-18}{3}$
The table for $x - 3y = 18$ is
$X$ $9$ $0$ $6$ $3$
$Y$ $- 3$ $- 6$ $- 4$ $- 5$
Plotting the above points, we get the following required graph:

From the above figure, we have $m = 3$ and $n = - 4.$

Question 44 Marks
The cost of manufacturing $x$ articles is $Rs.(50 + 3x)$. The selling price of $x$ articles is $Rs. 4x.$On a graph sheet, with the same axes, and taking suitable scales draw two graphs, first for the cost of manufacturing against no. of articles and the second for the selling price against the number of articles.Use your graph to determine:The profit or loss made when $(a) 30\ (b) 60$ articles are manufactured and sold.
Answer
Given that $C.P.$ is $50 + 3x$
Table of $C.P.$
$X$ $0$ $10$ $20$ $30$ $40$ $50$ $60$
$C.P.$ $50$ $80$ $110$ $140$ $170$ $200$ $230$
and $S.P. = 4x$
$\therefore $ Table of $S.P.$

$S.P.$ $0$ $40$ $80$ $120$ $160$ $200$ $240$
Now plot the points on a graph and we get the following required graph:

$(a)$
On article $30,$
$C.P. = Rs.140$ and $S.P. = 120$
Therefore Loss $= 140 - 120 = Rs. 20$
$(b)$On article $60,$
$C.P.= Rs. 230$ and $S.P.= Rs. 240$
Therefore Profit $= 240 - 230 = Rs.10$

Question 64 Marks
Using a scale of $1 \ cm$ to $1$ unit for both the axes, draw the graphs of the following equations$: 6y = 5x + 10, y = 5x - 15.$From the graph find :$(i)$ the coordinates of the point where the two lines intersect;$(ii)$ the area of the triangle between the lines and the $x-$ axis.
Answer
$6y = 5x + 10$
$\Rightarrow y=\frac{5 x+10}{6}$
The table of $6y = 5x + 10$ is

Question 144 Marks
Solve, graphically, the following pairs of equations :$\frac{x+1}{4}=\frac{2}{3}(1-2 y);\frac{2+5 y}{3}=\frac{x}{7}-2$
Answer
$\frac{x+1}{4}=\frac{2}{3}(1-2 y)$
$\Rightarrow \frac{x+1}{4}=\frac{2}{3}-\frac{4 y}{3}$
$\Rightarrow 12 \times \frac{x+1}{4}$
$=12 \times \frac{2}{3}-12 \times \frac{4 y}{3}$
$\Rightarrow 3(x + 1) = 8 - 16y$
$\Rightarrow 3x + 3 = 8 - 16y$
$\Rightarrow 3x + 3 - 8 = -16y$
$\Rightarrow 3x - 5 = -16y$
$\Rightarrow x=\frac{5-16 y}{3}$
The table for $\frac{x+1}{4}=\frac{2}{3}(1-2 y)$ is
$X$ $7$ $- 9$ $23$
$Y$ $- 1$ $2$ $- 4$
Also, we have
$\frac{2+5 y}{3}=\frac{x}{7}-2$
$\Rightarrow 21 \times \frac{2+5 y}{3}=21 \times \frac{x}{7}-21 \times 2$
$\Rightarrow 7(2 + 5y) = 3x - 42$
$\Rightarrow 14 + 35y = 3x - 42$
$\Rightarrow 3x = 14 + 35y + 42$
$\Rightarrow 3x = 56 + 35y$
$\Rightarrow x =\frac{56+35 y}{3}$
The table for $\frac{2+5 y}{3}=\frac{x}{7}-2$ is

Question 224 Marks
Use the table given below to draw the graph.
$X$ $a$ $3$ $-5$ $5$ $c$ $-1$
$Y$ $- 1$ $2$ $b$ $3$ $4$ $0$
Use the graph to find the values of $a, b$ and $c$. State a linear relation between the variables $x$ and $y$.
Answer
The table is:
$X$ $a$ $3$ $- 5$ $5$ $c$ $- 1$
$Y$ $- 1$ $2$ $b$ $3$ $4$ $0$
Plotting the points as shown in the above table,
we get the following required graph:

When $y = - 1,$ then $x = - 3$
$\Rightarrow a = - 3$
When $x = - 5,$ then $y = - 2$
$\Rightarrow b = - 2$
When $y = 4$, then $x = 7$
$\Rightarrow c = 7$
Let $y = px + q \dots....(1)$
be a linear relation between $x$ and $y$
Substitute $x = - 3$ and $y = - 1$ in the equation $(1),$ we have,
$-1 = - 3p + q \dots....(2)$
Substitute $x = - 5$ and $y = - 2$ in the equation $(1),$ we have,
$-2 = - 5p + q \dots....(3)$
Subtracting $(3)$ from $(2),$ we have,
$1 = 2p$
$\Rightarrow p=\frac{1}{2}$
From $(3),$ we have,
$-2 = -5p + q$
$-2=-5\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)+q$
$\Rightarrow -4 = -5 + 2q$
$\Rightarrow 2q = 5 - 4$
$\Rightarrow 2q = 1$
$\therefore q=\frac{1}{2}$
Thus, the linear relation is
$y = px + q$
$\Rightarrow y =\frac{1}{2} x+\frac{1}{2}$
$\Rightarrow y =\frac{x+1}{2}$

Use the table given below to draw the graph.
$x$ $-5$ $-1$ $3$ $b$ $13$
$y$ $-2$ $a$ $2$ $5$ $7$
From your graph, find the values of $'a\ '$ and $'b\ '.$
State a linear relationship between the variables $x$ and $y$.
Answer
The table is:
$X$ $- 5$ $- 1$ $3$ $b$ $13$
$Y$ $- 2$ $a$ $2$ $5$ $7$
Plotting the points as shown in the above table, we get the following required graph:

When $x = - 1,$ then $y = 0$
$\Rightarrow a = 0$
When $y = 5,$ then $x = 9$
$\Rightarrow b = 9$

Let $y = px + q \dots....(1)$
be a linear relation between $x$ and $y$
Substitute $x = 9$ and $y = 5$ in the equation $(1),$ we have,
$5 = 9p + q\dots....(2)$
Substitute $x = - 1$ and $y = 0$ in the equation $(1),$ we have,
$0 = - p + q \dots....(3)$
Subtracting $(3)$ from $(2),$ we have,
$5 = 10p$
$\Rightarrow p=\frac{5}{10}$
$\Rightarrow p=\frac{1}{2}$
From $(3),$ we have,
$p = q$
$\therefore q=\frac{1}{2}$
Thus, the linear relation is
$y = px + q$
$\Rightarrow y =\frac{1}{2} x+\frac{1}{2}$
$\Rightarrow y =\frac{x+1}{2}$

The value of $y,$ when $x = 12:$
We have the equation of the line as
y = $\frac{-4 x-6}{3}$
Now substitute $x = 12$ and $y = y_1:$
$y_1=\frac{-4(12)-6}{3}$
$=\frac{-48-6}{3}$
$=\frac{-54}{3}$
$= - 18$
The value of $y,$ when $x = - 6:$
Now substitute $x = - 6$ and $y = y_2:$
$y_2=\frac{-4(-6)-6}{3}$
$=\frac{24-6}{3}$

Question 254 Marks
Draw the graph of the equation $2x - 3y - 5 = 0$From the graph, find :$(i) \ x_1,$ the value of $x,$ when $y = 7;(ii) \ x_2,$ the value of $x,$ when $y = - 5.$
Answer
$2x - 3y - 5 = 0$
$\Rightarrow 2x = 3y + 5$
$\Rightarrow x =\frac{3 y+5}{2}$
When $y = 1,$
$x=\frac{3(1)+5}{2}$
$=\frac{8}{2}$
$= 4$
When $y = 3,$
$x=\frac{3(-1)+5}{2}$
$=\frac{5-3}{2}$
$= 7$
When $y = - 1,$
$x=\frac{3(-1)+5}{2}$
$=\frac{5-3}{2}$
$= 1$
$X$ $4$ $7$ $1$
$Y$ $1$ $3$ $- 1$
Plotting these points we get the required graph as shown below :

$(i)$ The value of $x,$ when $y = 7:$
We have the equation of the line as
$x=\frac{3 y+5}{2}$
Now substitute $y = 7$ and $x = x_1:$
$x_1=\frac{3(7)+5}{2}$
$=\frac{21+5}{2}$
$=\frac{26}{2}$
$=13$
$(ii)$ The value of $x,$ when $y = - 5:$
Now substitute $y = - 5$ and $x = x_2$
$x_2=\frac{3(-5)+5}{2}$
$=\frac{-15+5}{2}$
$=\frac{-10}{2}$
$=-5 .$

Question 264 Marks
Draw the graph of the straight line given by the equation $4x - 3y + 36 = 0$.Calculate the area of the triangle formed by the line drawn and the co $-$ ordinate axes.
Answer
$4x - 3y + 36 = 0$
$\Rightarrow 4x - 3y = -36$
$\Rightarrow -3y = -36 - 4x$
$\Rightarrow 3y = 36 + 4x$
$\Rightarrow y =\frac{36+4 x}{3}$
When $x = - 6,$
$y=\frac{36+4 \times(-6)}{3}$
$=\frac{36-24}{3}$
$= 4$
When $x = - 3,$
$y=\frac{36+4 \times(-3)}{3}$
$=\frac{36-12}{3}$
$= 8$
When $x = - 9,$
$y=\frac{36+4 \times(-9)}{3}$
$=\frac{36-36}{3}$
$= 0$
$X$ $- 9$ $- 3$ $- 6$
$Y$ $0$ $8$ $4$
Plotting these points we get the required graph as shown below:

The straight line cuts the co $-$ ordinates axis at $A(0,12)$ and $B(-9,0)$.
$\therefore$ The triangle $\triangle AOB$ is formed.
Area of the $\triangle AOB$
$=\frac{1}{2} \times AO \times OB$
$=\frac{1}{2} \times 12 \times 9$
$= 54 \text{ sq .}$ units
$\therefore $ Area of the triangle is $54 \text{ sq .}$ units

Question 274 Marks
Draw the graph for the equation given below; hence find the co $-$ ordinates of the points where the graph is drawn meets the co $-$ ordinates axes : $\frac{2 x+15}{3}=y-1$
Answer
$\frac{2 x+15}{3}=y-1$
$\Rightarrow 2x + 15 = 3(y - 1)$
$\Rightarrow 2x + 15 = 3y - 3$
$\Rightarrow 2x - 3y = -15 - 3$
$\Rightarrow 2x - 3y = -18$
$\Rightarrow -3y = -18 - 2x$
$\Rightarrow y =\frac{-18-2 x}{-3}$
When $x = 0,$
$y=\frac{-18-[2 \times 0]}{-3}$
$=\frac{-18-0}{-3}$
$= 6$
When $x = -3,$
$y=\frac{-18-[2 \times(-3)]}{-3}$
$=\frac{-18+6}{-3}$
$= 4$
When $x = -6,$
$y=\frac{-18-[2 \times(-6)]}{-3}$
$=\frac{-18+12}{-3}$
$= 2$
$X$ $0$ $- 3$ $- 6$
$Y$ $6$ $4$ $2$
Plotting these points we get the required graph as shown below:

From the figure it is clear that, the graph meets the coordinate axes at $(-9, 0)$ and $(0, 6).$

Question 284 Marks
Draw the graph for the equation given below; hence find the co $-$ ordinates of the points where the graph is drawn meets the co $-$ ordinates axes : $\frac{1}{3} x+\frac{1}{5} y=1$.
Answer
$\frac{1}{3} x+\frac{1}{5} y=1$
$\Rightarrow \frac{5 x+3 y}{15}=1$
$\Rightarrow 5x + 3y = 15$
$\Rightarrow 3y = 15 - 5x$
$\Rightarrow y =\frac{15-5 x}{3}$
When $x=0 ; y=\frac{15-5 \times 0}{3}=\frac{15-0}{3}=5$
When $x=3 ; y=\frac{15-5 \times 3}{3}=\frac{15-15}{3}=0$
When $x=-3 ; y=\frac{15-5 \times(-3)}{3}=\frac{15+15}{3}=10$
