Solve the equations Graphically

Solve the equations Graphically:

Check whether the pair of equations x + 3y = 6 and 2x – 3y = 12 is consistent. If so, solve them graphically.
Solution : Let us draw the graphs of the Equations (1) and (2). For this, we find two
solutions of each of the equations, which are given in Table

Plot the points A(0, 2), B(6, 0), P(0, – 4) and Q(3, – 2) on graph paper, and join the points to form the lines AB and PQ as shown in Fig below We observe that there is a point B (6, 0) common to both the lines AB and PQ. So, the solution of the pair of linear equations is x = 6 and y = 0, i.e., the given pair of equations is consistent.
