Pair of Linear Equations in Two Variables. Flashcards
1
Q
General form of Pair of Linear Equations in Two Variables.
A
a1x + b1y + c1; a2x + b2y +c2
2
Q
Methods to find roots of given equations?
A
Graphical (Consistent/Inconsistent lines), Algebraic (Substitution method/Elimination method/Cross-multiplication method.)
3
Q
a1 / a2 is not equal to b1 / b2
A
Lines are consistent, intersecting lines are formed, equation will have one solution.
4
Q
a1 / a2 = b1 / b2 but not equal to c1 / c2.
A
Lines are inconsistent, parallel lines are formed, equation will have no solutions.
5
Q
a1 / a2 = b1 / b2 = c1 / c2
A
Lines are dependent and consistent, coincident lines are formed, equations have infinite solutions.
