This is a power point presentation on linear equations in two variables for class 10th. I have spent 3 hours on making this and all the equations you will see are written by me.

2. Linear Equations
A linear equation in two variable x and y is an equation that
can be written in the form ax + by + c = 0, where a ,b and c
are real numbers and a and b are not equal to 0.
Example of a linear equation in two variables is 2x+4y=60
3. Solution of an Equation in Two Variables
Example:
Given the equation 2x + 3y = 18, determine if the
ordered pair (3, 4) is a solution to the equation.
Solution:
We substitute 3 in for x and 4 in for y.
2(3) + 3 (4) ? 18
6 + 12 ? 18
18 = 18 True.
Therefore, the ordered pair (3, 4) is a solution to the
equation 2x + 3y = 18.
4. The Rectangular Coordinate
System
In the rectangular coordinate system, the horizontal number line
is the x-axis.
The vertical number line is the y-axis.
The point of intersection of these axes is their zero points, called
the origin. The axes divide the plane into 4 quarters, called
quadrants.

SOLUTION
7. Solution for a linear equation in two variables
Let ax + by +c = O , where a ,b , c are real numbers
such that a and b ≠ O. Then, any pair of values of x
and y which satisfies the equation ax + by +c = O, is
called a solution of it.

9. Graphical
Method Example
Solve the following system of linear equations:
Since we are seeking out the point of intersection, we may graph the equations:
We see here that the lines intersect each other at the point x = 2, y = 8. This is
our solution and we may refer to it as a graphic solution to the task.
10. Substitution
method
The method of solving "by substitution" works by
solving one of the equations (you choose which one)
for one of the variables (you choose which one), and
then plugging this back into the other equation,
"substituting" for the chosen variable and solving for
the other. Then you back-solve for the first variable.
11. For example if the equations are
푥 − 2푦 = 10…… (i) and 2푥 + 푦 = 30………. (ii)
From (i) we get 푥 = 10 + 2푦
So now we put the value of x in equation (ii)….
2 10 + 2푦 + 푦 = 30
Or, 20 + 5푦 = 30 Or, 푦 =
10
5
Or, 푦 = 2
Putting the value of y in equation (i)
i.e. 푥 − 2 2 = 10
or, 푥 = 10 + 4 표푟, 푥 = 14
12. Elimination
In the eliMmineattiohn moedthod we eliminate
either of the variables to solve the
equation.
We first make the coefficients of the
variable equal in both the equations by
multiplying the whole equation by an
integer except zero. Then we eliminate the
variable and solve the equation for the
value of another variable.
13. For example if the equations are
푥 − 2푦 = 10…… (i) and 2푥 + 푦 = 30………. (ii)
First we make the coefficient of x in equation (i) equal to that of
equation (ii). So, we multiply the whole equation by 2 we get,
2푥 − 4푦 = 20 … … … (푖푖푖)
Now we can either subtract (ii) by (iii) or vice versa.
So, subtracting (iii) by (ii) we get,
2푥 + 푦 − 2푥 − 4푦 = 30 − 20
푂푟, 2푥 + 푦 − 2푥 + 4푦 = 10
푂푟, 5푦 = 10 푖. 푒. 푦 =

푖. 푒. 푦 = 2
Now we put the value of y in equation (iii) we get,
2푥 − 4 2 = 20

14. Cross
multiplication
method
Let’s consider the general form of a pair of linear equations a1x + b1y + c1 = 0 , and a2x +
b2y + c2 = 0.
When a1 divided by a2 is not equal to b1 divided by b2, the pair of linear equations will
have a unique solution.
To solve this pair of equations for x and y using cross-multiplication, we’ll arrange the
variables x and y and their coefficients a1, a2, b1 and b2, and the constants c1 and c2 as
shown
15. For example if the equations are
푥 − 2푦 = 10…… (i) and 2푥 + 푦 = 30………. (ii)
First we write it in this form as
푥 − 2푦 − 10 = 0 푎푛푑 2푥 + 푦 − 30 = 0
According to the theory
