Solve the system of equations graphically:
3x+y+1=0
2x-3y+8=0

Solution:

Draw a horizontal line on a graph paper X’OX and a vertical line YOY’ as the \mathrm{x}-axis and y-axis, respectively.
Graph of 3 \mathbf{x}+\mathbf{y}+\mathbf{1}=\mathbf{0}
\begin{array}{l} 3 x+y+1=0 \\ \Rightarrow y=(-3 x-1) \dots \dots(i) \end{array}
Putting x=0, we obtain y=-1
Putting x=-1, we obtain y=2
Putting x=1, we obtain y=-4.

Therefore, we have the following table for the eq. 3 x+y+1=0.

    \[\begin{tabular}{|r|r|r|c|} \hline $\mathrm{x}$ & 0 & $-1$ & 1 \\ \hline $\mathrm{y}$ & $-1$ & 2 & $-4$ \\ \hline \end{tabular}\]

So now, plot the points \mathrm{A}(0,-1), \mathrm{B}(-1,2) and \mathrm{C}(1,-4) on the graph paper. Join \mathrm{AB} and \mathrm{AC} to get the graph line BC. Extend it on both ways.

Therefore, BC is the graph of 3 \mathrm{x}+\mathrm{y}+1=0
\text { Graph of } 2 x-3 y+8=0
\begin{array}{l} 2 x-3 y+8=0 \\ \Rightarrow 3 y=(2 x+8) \\ \therefore y=\frac{2 x+8}{3}\dots \dots(ii) \end{array}
Putting x=-1, we obtain y=2
Putting x=2, we obtain y=4
Putting x=-4, we obtain y=0.

Thus, we have the following table for the eq. 2 \mathrm{x}-3 \mathrm{y}+8=0.

    \[\begin{tabular}{|r|r|r|r|} \hline $\mathrm{x}$ & $-1$ & 2 & $-4$ \\ \hline $\mathrm{y}$ & 2 & 4 & 0 \\ \hline \end{tabular}\]

So now, plot the points \mathrm{P}(2,4) and \mathrm{Q}(-4,0). The point \mathrm{B}(-1,2) has already been plotted. Join \mathrm{PB} and \mathrm{BQ} and extend it on both ways.
Therefore, PQ is the graph of 2 \mathrm{x}+\mathrm{y}-8=0.

The two graph lines intersect at B (-1.2).
\therefore x=-1 and y=2
