Solve the following system of equations graphically:
Shade the region bounded by the lines and the y-axis.
$3x\ -\ 4y\ =\ 7, \ 5x\ +\ 2y\ =\ 3$
Given:
The given equations are:
$3x\ -\ 4y\ =\ 7, \ 5x\ +\ 2y\ =\ 3$
To do:
We have to solve the given system of linear equations and shade the region bounded by the given lines and the y-axis.
Solution:
To represent the above equations graphically we need at least two solutions for each of the equations.
For equation $3x-4y-7=0$,
$4y=3x-7$
$y=\frac{3x-7}{4}$
If $x=5$ then $y=\frac{3(5)-7}{4}=\frac{15-7}{4}=\frac{8}{4}=2$
If $x=1$ then $y=\frac{3(1)-7}{4}=\frac{3-7}{4}=\frac{-4}{4}=-1$
$x$ | $5$ | $1$ |
$y$ | $2$ | $-1$ |
For equation $5x+2y-3=0$,
$2y=3-5x$
$y=\frac{3-5x}{2}$
If $x=-1$ then $y=\frac{3-5(-1)}{2}=\frac{3+5}{2}=\frac{8}{2}=4$
If $x=1$ then $y=\frac{3-5(1)}{2}=\frac{3-5}{2}=\frac{-2}{2}=-1$
$x$ | $-1$ | $1$ |
$y$ | $4$ | $-1$ |
The equation of y-axis is $x=0$.
The above situation can be plotted graphically as below:
The lines AB and CD represent the equations $3x-4y=7$ and $5x+2y=3$ respectively.
The shaded area is the area bounded by the given lines and y-axis.
