Exercise 4.1 - Linear Equations In Two Variables | NCERT | Mathematics | Class 9
The cost of a notebook is twice the cost of a pen. Write a linear equation in two variables to represent this statement.
(Take the cost of a notebook to be ₹ $x$ and that of a pen to be ₹ $y$ ).
Given the cost of a notebook is represented by ₹ $x$ and the cost of a pen by ₹ $y$, the relationship described can be summarized as:
"The cost of a notebook is twice the cost of a pen."
Translating this into a linear equation in two variables, we get:
$$ x = 2y $$
Here, $x$ and $y$ are the variables representing the cost of a notebook and a pen, respectively.
Express the following linear equations in the form $a x+b y+c=0$ and indicate the values of $a, b$ and $c$ in each case:
(i) $2 x+3 y=9.3 \overline{5}$
(ii) $x-\frac{y}{5}-10=0$
(iii) $-2 x+3 y=6$
(iv) $x=3 y$
(v) $2 x=-5 y$
(vi) $3 x+2=0$
(vii) $y-2=0$
(viii) $5=2 x$

Which one of the following options is true, and why? $y=3 x+5$ has
(i) a unique solution,
(ii) only two solutions,
(iii) infinitely many solutions
The equation $y = 3x + 5$ represents a straight line in the XY-plane. For any unique value of $x$, there is a unique corresponding value of $y$. This relationship between $x$ and $y$ implies that for every point $(x, y)$ that satisfies the equation, $x$ determines $y$ uniquely. Therefore, for each input value of $x$, there is exactly one output value for $y$.
Given that a straight line extends infinitely in both directions along the XY-plane, there are infinitely many points $(x, y)$ that satisfy the equation $y = 3x + 5$. Each of these points represent a unique combination of $x$ and $y$ that fits the equation, and since the line is continuous and unbounded, it crosses every possible $x$-value exactly once, yielding a corresponding $y$-value.
Therefore, the correct option is:
(iii) infinitely many solutions
The reason is that the equation depicts a linear relationship with a constant slope, indicating that for every value of $x$, there is a unique value of $y$, and since $x$ can assume any value from the set of real numbers, there are infinitely many such $(x, y)$ pairs that satisfy the equation.
Write four solutions for each of the following equations:
(i) $2 x+y=7$
(ii) $\pi x+y=9$
(iii) $x=4 y$

The radius of a circle is proportional to its diameter. Find the constant of proportionality.
A) $\frac{1}{2}$
B) 5
C) $2 \pi$
D) $\pi$
The relationship between the radius and the diameter of a circle is governed by the equation:
$$ \text{Radius} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{Diameter} $$
Here, the constant of proportionality between the radius and the diameter is $\frac{1}{2}$. This constant represents the fraction of the diameter that equals the radius.
Thus, the correct answer is:
A) $\frac{1}{2}$
Give two solutions for $3y+4=0$.
