Question 1.
Fill in the blanks:
(i) y = p x where p ∈ Z always passes through the _________ .
Answer:
Origin (0,0)
Hint:
[When we substitute x = 0 in equation, y also becomes zero. (0,0) is a solution]
(ii) The intersecting point of the line x = 4 and y = -4 is _________ .
Answer:
4, -4
Hint:
x = 4 is a line parallel to the y – axis and
y = -4 is a line parallel to the x – axis. The point of intersection is a point that lies on both lines & which should satisfy both the equations. Therefore, that point is (4, -4)
(iii) Scale for the given graph,
On the x-axis 1 cm = _________ units
y-axis 1 cm = _________ units
Answer:
3 units, 25 units
Hint:
With reference to given graph,
On the x – axis. 1 cm = 3 units
y axis, 1 cm = 25 units
Question 2.
Say True or False.
(i) The points (1,1) (2,2) (3,3) lie on a same straight line.
Answer:
True
Hint:
The points (1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3) all satisfy the equation y = x which is straight line. Hence, it is true
(ii) y = -9x not passes through the origin.
Answer:
False
Hint:
y = -9x substituting for x as zero, we get y = -9 × 0 = 0
∴ for x = 0, y = 0. Which means line passes through (0, 0), hence statement is false.
Question 3.
Will a line pass through (2, 2) if it intersects the axes at (2, 0) and (0, 2).
Answer:
Given a line intersects the axis at (2, 0) & (0, 2)
Let line intercept form be expressed as
ax + by = 1 Where a & b are the x & y intercept respectively.
Since the intercept points are (2. 0) & (0, 2)
a = 2, b = 2
∴ 2x + 2y = 1
When the point (2. 2) is considered & substituted in the equation
2x + 2y = 1, we get
2 × 2 + 2 × 2 = 4 ≠ 1
∴ the point (2. 2) does not satisfy the equation. Therefore the line does not pass through (2, 2)
Alternatively graphical method
as we can see the line doesn’t pass through (2, 2)
Question 4.
A line passing through (4, – 2) and intersects the Y-axis at (0, 2). Find a point on the line in the second quadrant.
Answer:
Line passes through (4, – 2)
y – axis intercept point – (0, 2) using 2 point formula.
Any point in II quadrant will have x as negative & y as positive.
So let us take x value as – 2
∴ -2 + y = 2
∴ y = 2 + 2 = 4
∴ Point in II Quadrant is (-2, 4)
Question 5.
If the points P(5, 3) Q(-3, 3) R (-3, -4) and S form a rectangle then find the coordinate of S.
Answer:
Plotting the points on a graph (approximately)
Steps:
- Plot P, Q, R approximately on a graph.
- As it is a rectangle, RS should be parallel to PQ & QR should be paraHel to PS
- S should lie on the straight line from R parallel to x-axis & straight line from P parallel to y-axis
- Therefore, we get S to be (5, -4)
[Note: We don’t need graph sheet for approximate plotting. This is just for graphical understanding]
Question 6.
A line passes through (6, 0) and (0, 6) and an another line passes through (-3, 0) and (0, -3). What are the points to be joined to get a trapezium?
Answer:
In a trapezium. there are 2 opposite sides that are parallel. The other opposite sides are non-parallel.
Now, let us approximately plot the points for our understanding
[no need of graph sheet]
- Plot the points (0, 6), (6, 0), (-3, 0) & (0, -3)
- Join (0, 6) & (6, 0)
- Join (-3,0) & (0, – 3)
- We find that the lines formed by joining the points are parallel lines.
- So, for forming a trapezium, we should join (0, 6), (-3, 0) & (0, -3), (6, 0)
Question 7.
Find the point of intersection of the line joining points (- 3, 7) (2, – 4) and (4, 6) (- 5, – 7).Also find the point of intersection of these lines and also their intersection with the axis.
Answer:
Equation of line joining 2 points by 2 point formula is given by
Cross multiplying, we get
Transposing the variables, we get
11 x + 5 y = 35 – 33 = 2
11 x + 5y = 2 – Line 1
Similarly, we should find out equation of second line
∴ 9y – 54 = 13x – 52
∴ 9y – 13x = 2 – Line 2
For finding point of intersection, we need to solve the 2 line equation to find a point that will satisfy both the line equations.
∴ Solving for x & y from line 1 & line 2 as below
11x + 5y = 2 ⇒ multiply both sides by 13,
11 × 13x + 5 × 13y = 26 …….. (3)
Line 2: 9y – 13x = 2 ⇒ multiply both sides by 11
9 × 11y – 13 × 11x = 22 ……… (4)
Question 8.
Draw the graph of the following equations: (i) x = – 7 (ii) y = 6
Answer:
Question 9.
Draw the graph of
(i) y = – 3x
(ii ) y = x – 4
(ii) y = 2x + 5
Answer:
To draw graph, we need to find out some points.
(i) y = – 3x
for y = -3x, let us first substituting values & check
put x = 0
y = 3 × 0 = 0
∴ (0,0) is a point
put x = 1
y = -3 × 1 = – 3
∴ (1, – 3) is a point
If join these 2 points, we will get the line
(ii) y = x – 4
for y = x – 4
put x = 0
y = 0 – 4 = – 4
∴ (0, – 4) is a point
x = 4
y = 4 – 4 = 0
∴ (4, 0) is a point
(iii) y = 2x + 5
for y = 2x + 5
put x = – 1
y = 2(-1) + 5 = – 2 + 5 = 3
∴ (-1, 3) is a point
put x = – 2
y = 2(-2) + 5 = – 4 + 5 = 1
∴ (-2, 1) is a point
Now let us plot the points & join them on graph
Question 10.
Find the values
(a) y = x + 3
Answer:
Let y = x+3
(i) if x = 0, y = 0 + 3 = 3,
∴ y = 3
(ii) y = 0, 0 = x + 3,
∴ x = – 3
(iii) x = -2, y = -2 + 3,
∴ y = 1
(iv) y = – 3, – 3 = x + 3,
∴ x = – 6
y = x + 3
(b) 2x + y – 6 = 0
Answer:
Let 2x + y – 6 = 0
(i) x = 0 2 × 0 + y – 6 = 0 ∴ y = 6
(ii) y = 0, 2x + 0 – 6 = 0, ∴ 2x = 6
x = 3 ,
(iii) x = -1, 2 × (-1) + y – 6 = 0, 8 + y = 0
y = 8
(iv) y = -2, 2x – 2 – 6 = 0, 2x = 8
x = 4
2x + y – 6 = 0
(c) y = 3x + 1
Answer:
(i) x = -1, y = 3(-1) + 1 = 0
∴ y = -2
(ii) x = 0, y = 3(0) + 1 = 0
∴ y = 1
(iii) x = 1, y = 3(1) + 1 = 0
∴ y = 4
(iv) x = 2, y = 3(2) + 1 = 0
∴ y = 7
y = 3x + 1
