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

Solution:

Draw a horizontal line on a graph paper X’OX and a vertical line YOY’ as the \mathrm{x}-axis and \mathrm{y}-axis, respectively.
\begin{array}{l} x+2 y+2=0 \\ \Rightarrow 2 y=(-2-x) \\ \therefore y=\frac{-2-x}{2} \dots \dots(i) \end{array}

Putting x=-2, we obtain y=0
Putting x=0, we obtain y=-1
Putting x=2, we obtain y=-2

So, we have the following table for the equation \mathrm{x}+2 \mathrm{y}+2=0.

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

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

So, \mathrm{AC} is the graph of \mathrm{x}+2 \mathrm{y}+2=0
3 x+2 y-2=0
\Rightarrow 2 y=(2-3 x)
\therefore y=\frac{2-3 x}{2} \quad \ldots \ldots (ii)

Putting x=0, we obtain y=1
Putting x=2, we obtain y=-2
Putting x=4, we obtain y=-5

We have the following table for the eq. 3 \mathrm{x}+2 \mathrm{y}-2=0.

    \[\begin{tabular}{|r|r|r|r|} \hline $\mathrm{x}$ & 0 & 2 & 4 \\ \hline $\mathrm{y}$ & 1 & $-2$ & $-5$ \\ \hline \end{tabular}\]

Now, plot the points \mathrm{P}(0,1) and \mathrm{Q}(4,-5). The point \mathrm{C}(2,-2) has already been plotted. Join \mathrm{PC} and \mathrm{QC} and extend it on both ways.
Thus, \mathrm{PQ} is the graph of 3 \mathrm{x}+2 \mathrm{y}-2=0.

The two graph lines intersect at \mathrm{A}(2,-2).
\therefore x=2 \text { and } y=-2
