Key Topics to Revise

1

Introduction to Linear Equations in Two Variables

  • A linear equation in two variables x and y has the general form ax + by + c = 0, where a, b, c are real numbers and a ≠ 0 or b ≠ 0
  • The graph of a linear equation in two variables is always a straight line
  • A pair of linear equations involves two such equations with the same two variables
2

Types of Solutions and Graphical Representation

  • Two lines can intersect at exactly one point (unique solution)
  • Two lines can be parallel (no solution)
  • Two lines can be coincident/same line (infinitely many solutions)
3

Graphical Method of Solution

  • Plot both equations as straight lines on the same coordinate plane
  • The point of intersection gives the solution
  • If lines are parallel, no solution exists
4

Substitution Method

  • Express one variable in terms of the other from one equation
  • Substitute this expression into the second equation
  • Solve the resulting equation in one variable
