Given,
5x – y = 5
=> y = 5x – 5
Its solution table will be
x \(\rightarrow\) 2, 1, 0
y \(\rightarrow\) 5, 0, -5
Also given, 3x – y = 3
y = 3x – 3
x \(\rightarrow\) 2, 1, 0
y \(\rightarrow\) 5, 0, -5
The graphical representation of these lines will be as follows:
From the above graph we can see that the triangle formed is ∆ABC by the lines and the y axis. Also the coordinates of the vertices are A(1,0), C(0,-5) and B(0,-3).
