Linear Equations are the equations in which the powers of all the involved variables are one.

The general form of a linear equation in two variables is ax + by + c = 0, where a and b cannot be simultaneously zero.

The solution of a linear equation in two variables is generally a pair of values, one for x and the other for y, which makes the two sides of the equation equal.

For example: If 3x + y = 6, then (0,6) is one of its solutions as it satisfies the equation.

Graph of Linear Equation in two variables: A linear equation in two variables can be geometrically represented as a straight line.

A pair of linear equations in two variables can be represented as shown below –

\(a_1x + b_1y+c_1=0\\ a_2x + b_2y+c_2=0\)

The solution for a consistent pair of linear equations can be found using various methods.

i) Elimination method

ii) Substitution Method

iii) Cross-multiplication of solving linear equations

iv) Graphical method
