Question

Draw the graph for each of the following equation: Also, find the coordinates of the points where the graph of the equation meets the coordinate axes:
`(1)/(2) x + (1)/(3) y` = 1

Graph

Solution

Given, `(1)/(2) x + (1)/(3) y` = 1
⇒ 3x + 2y = 6
⇒ 2y = 6 - 3x

⇒ y = `(6 - 3x)/(2)`
Corresponding values of x and y can be tabulated as follows :

X 0 1 -1
Y 3 1.5 4.5

Plotting the points (0, 3), (1, 1.5) and (-1, 4.5), 
we get the following graph :

Thus, the graph of the equation meets the X-axis at (2, 0) and Y-axis at (0, 3).
