Graphical Representation and Algebraic Interpretation Of Pair Of Linear Equations
An equation of the type ax + by + c = 0, where a, b, c are real numbers anda ≠ 0 and b ≠ 0.
• Plot both the linear equations on the graph paper. This will give us two straight lines.• If the lines intersect at one point then it has unique solution.• If the lines are parallel then there is no solution for the pair of equations.• If the lines are coincident then there are in�nitely many solutions.

Cross Multiplication Method
(a) In this, using �rst equation we �nd the value of one variable in terms of other and substitute in the 2nd equation.(b) On simpli�cation we get the value of one variable and resubstituting it in any one gives the value of other variable.
(a) In this method, we multiply both the equations with some non-zero constant so as one of the variable gets eliminated.(b) This gives the value of other variable. Using this value and any one of the equation we get the value of the �rst variable.
Two linear equations with two same variables are called pair of linear equations.
Values of x and y for which equations hold true are called as its solution.
The general form of these type of equations is
Intersecting lines
Coincident lines
Parallel lines

a1x + b1y + c1 = 0a2x + b2y + c2 = 0
For equations a1x + b1y + c1 = 0 and a2x + b2y + c2 = 0.
a1x + b1y + c1 = 0a2x + b2y + c2 = 0
A linear equation in two variable has in�nitely many solution.
