Solve the following system of equations graphically. Also determine the vertices of the triangle formed by the lines and y – axis.

4x – 5y – 20 = 0, 3x + 5y – 15 = 0

The given equation is


4x – 5y = 20


and 3x + 5y = 15


Now, let us find atleast two solutions of each of the above equations, as shown in the following tables.


Table for



Now, table for




Here, the lines are intersecting at point C (5, 0).
