Let us draw the graph of the following simultaneous linear equations and determine the coordinates of the point of intersection.

x = 0 and 2x + 3y = 15

0.y + 1.x = 0


Coefficient of y is zero so y could be anything.



2x + 3y = 15


Putting different values of x, we get different values of ‘y’, hence we get points for plotting as:

Let us express the following statements into simultaneous linear equations and solve them graphically.

The perimeter of Rohit’s rectangular garden is 60m. If the length of the garden is increased by 2m and breadth is decreased by 2m, the area of the garden decreased by 24 sq.m. Let us write the length and breadth of the garden by solving graphically.
