Given,
⇒ 8y - 3x + 7 = 0
⇒ 8y = 3x - 7
⇒ y = ………(1)
When x = -3, y = = -2,
x = 1, y = = -0.5
x = 5, y = = 1.
Table of values of equation (1) :
x | -3 | 1 | 5 |
---|---|---|---|
y | -2 | -0.5 | 1 |
Steps of construction :
Plot the points (-3, -2), (1, -0.5), (5, 1) on graph.
Join the points.
Given,
⇒ 2x - y + 4 = 0
⇒ y = 2x + 4
When x = -2, y = 2(-2) + 4 = -4 + 4 = 0,
x = -1, y = 2(-1) + 4 = -2 + 4 = 2,
x = 0, y = 2(0) + 4 = 0 + 4 = 4.
Table of values of equation (2) :
x | -2 | -1 | 0 |
---|---|---|---|
y | 0 | 2 | 4 |
Steps of construction :
Plot the points (-2, 0), (-1, 2), (0, 4) on graph.
Join the points.
Given,
⇒ 5x + 4y = 29
⇒ 4y = 29 - 5x
⇒ y = ……….(3)
When x = 1, y = = 6,
x = 3, y = = 3.5,
x = 5, y = = 1.
Table of values of equation (3) :
x | 1 | 3 | 5 |
---|---|---|---|
y | 6 | 3.5 | 1 |
Steps of construction :
Plot the points (1, 6), (3, 3.5), (5, 1) on graph.
Join the points.
From graph,
These three lines intersect each other at (-3, -2), (5, 1) and (1, 6).
Hence, the coordinates of the vertices of the triangle formed by these lines are (-3, -2), (5, 1) and (1, 6).
