Practice Set 7.2 : Problem 3 : Textbook Page 97

The equation of the line parallel to the X-axis at a distance of 5 units from it and below the X-axis is y = − 5.


4. The point Q(− 3, − 2) lies on a line parallel to the Y-axis. Write the equation of the line and draw its graph.
Solution:
Practice Set 7.2 : Problem 4 : Textbook Page 97

The equation of the line parallel to the Y-axis passing through the point Q(− 3, − 2) is x = − 3.


5. X-axis and line y = − 4 are parallel lines. What is the distance between them?
Solution:
Practice Set 7.2 : Problem 5 : Textbook Page 97

The distance between the X-axis and the line y = − 4 is 4 units.


6. Which of the equations given below have graphs parallel to the X-axis, and which ones have graphs parallel to the Y-axis?
Solution:
Practice Set 7.2 : Problem 6 : Textbook Page 97

The equation of a line parallel to the X-axis is in the form y = b.

The equation of a line parallel to the Y-axis is in the form x = a.

  1. x = 3
    → Parallel to the Y-axis
  2. y − 2 = 0
    y = 2
    → Parallel to the X-axis
  3. x + 6 = 0
    x = − 6
    → Parallel to the Y-axis
  4. y = − 5
    → Parallel to the X-axis


7. On a graph paper, plot the points A (2, 3), B (6, − 1) and C (0, 5). If those points are collinear then draw the line which includes them. Write the co-ordinates of the points at which the line intersects the X-axis and the Y-axis.
Solution:
Practice Set 7.2 : Problem 7 : Textbook Page 97

The line intersects the X-axis in the point (5, 0).

The line intersects the Y-axis in the point (0, 5).


8. Draw the graphs of the following equations on the same system of co-ordinates. Write the co-ordinates of their points of intersection.

  1. x + 4 = 0
  2. y − 1 = 0
  3. 2x + 3 = 0
  4. 3y − 15 = 0
Solution:
  1. x + 4 = 0
    x = − 4
  2. y − 1 = 0
    y = 1
  3.  2x + 3 = 0
    ∴ 2x = − 3
    x = − \(\frac{3}{2}\)
  4.  3y − 15 = 0
    ∴ 3y = 15
    y = \(\frac{15}{3}\)
    y = 5
Practice Set 7.2 : Problem 8 : Textbook Page 97

The co-ordinates of the points of intersection of these lines are: (− 4, 5), (− 1.5, 5), (− 1.5, 1) and (− 4, 1).


9. Draw the graphs of the equations given below:

  1. x + y = 2
  2. 3xy = 0
  3. 2x + y = 1
Solution:
(i) x + y = 2
y = 2 − x

Now, prepare a table as shown below:

x 1 − 2 3
y 1 4 − 1
(x, y) (1, 1) (− 2, 4) (3, − 1)

(ii) 3xy = 0
∴ 3x = y
i.e. y = 3x

Now, prepare a table as shown below:

x 1 − 1 0
y 3 − 3 0
(x, y) (1, 3) (− 1, − 3) (0, 0)

(iii) 2x + y = 1
y = 1 − 2x

Now, prepare a table as shown below:

x 1 − 1 − 2
y − 1 3 5
(x, y) (1, − 1) (− 1, 3) (− 2, 5)
