NCERT Class 9 Maths Solutions Chapter - 4 Linear Equations in Two Variables, Ex - 4.4

Ex - 4.4

Question 1.  Give the geometric representation of y = 3 as an equation    
(i)  in one variable
(ii)  in two variables

Solution

In one variable y = 3 represents a point as shown in following figure.

             

In two variables y = 3 represents a straight line passing through point (0, 3) and parallel to x axis. As it is a collection of all points of plane which are having their y coordinate as 3


Question 2.  Give the geometric representations of 2x + 9 = 0 as an equation
(1)    in one variable
(2)    in two variables

Solution

(1) In one variable 2x + 9 = 0 represents a point  as shown in following figure.
    
                                                
    
(2) In two variables 2x + 9 = 0 represents a straight line passing through point (- 4.5, 0) and parallel to y axis. As it is a collection of all points of plane, having their x coordinate as 4.5.
