Question

Find an ordered pair (x,y) that is a solution to the equation. x-2y=6

Answer 1

$\large\underline{\underline{\red{\sf \blue{\longmapsto} Step-by-step\: Explanation:-}}}$

Given linear equⁿ : x - 2y = 6 .

So , on drawing its graph , the points though which it passes , the coordinates of that particular point will be a solution for this linear equⁿ .

Here , taking the given equⁿ & drawing its graph ,

⇒ x - 2y = 6 .

⇒ x = 6 + 2y .

Now , for a given value of y , x will also have some values .

$\boxed{\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|}\cline{1-3} \bf x & 6 & 8 \\ \cline{1-3} \bf y & 0 & 1 \\\cline{1-3} \end{tabular}}$

Now , it's clear that the required order pair which will be solution of the equⁿ can be ( 6 , 0 ) or ( 8 , 1 ) . But since it is a straight line it will have infinite number of solutions .
