Q. 18. Check graphically whether the pair of equations 3x – 2y + 2 = 0 and x – y + 3 = 0, is consistent. Also find the coordinates of the points where the graphs of the equations meet the y-axis.

Sol. 3x – 2y + 2 = 0       x – y + 3 = 0

3x + 2 = 2y                x + 3 = y

x 0 2 -2
y 1 4 -2

x 0 2 -2
y 3 6 0

By plotting the points and joining them, the lines donot intersect anywhere, i.e., they are parallel.
Given pair of equations is not consistent, i.e., inconsistent.
The equation 3x – 2y + 2 = 0 meets the y-axis at A(0, 1)
The equation x – y + 3 = 0 meets the y-axis at B(0, 3).
