Draw the graph of the equation 3x + 5y – 15 = 0 and show that x = 1, y = 2 is not a solution of the given equation.
3x + 5y – 15 = 0
⇒ 5y = 15 – 3x
When, x = 0 then,
⇒ y = 3
When, x = 5 then,
⇒ y = 0
Plotting (0, 3) and (5, 0) we get the following graph,
The blue line indicates the required graph of 3x + 5y – 15 = 0
Now, to show that (1, 2) is not the solution of
3x + 5y – 15 = 0
We put x = 1 and y = 2 in
Since, LHS ≠ RHS therefore, x = 1, y = 2 is not a solution 3x + 5y – 15 = 0.
