1. Solve linear equations x+y=2 and 2x+3y=4 using Graphical Method
Solution: `x+y=2`
and `2x+3y=4`
The point of intersection of the linear equations Consider `x+y=2`
`x`-intercept: put `y = 0,` we get `x = 2` `:.A(2,0)`
`y`-intercept: put `x = 0,` we get `y = 2` `:.B(0,2)`
Consider `2x+3y=4`
`x`-intercept: put `y = 0,` we get `x = 2` `:.C(2,0)`
`y`-intercept: put `x = 0,` we get `y = 1.33` `:.D(0,1.33)`
Intersection Point = `P(2,0)`
