Free Linear Equations in Two Variables 03 Practice Test - 9th Grade
Question 1
If x = 1, y = 2 is a solution of the equation 3x + 2y = k, the value of k is
SOLUTION
Solution :Putting x = 1, y = 2 in the given equation,
3 x 1 + 2 x 2 = k
⇒ k = 7
Question 2
x = −5 can be expressed as a linear equation in 2 variables.
True
False
SOLUTION
Solution : B
A linear equation in two variables is of the form ax + by + c = 0, where a and b are both non-zero. If any one of a or b becomes 0, it would reduce to a linear equation in one variable. So, the equation x = -5 cannot be expressed as a linear equation in 2 variables.
Question 3
If both 'x' and 'y' are natural numbers, the equation 2x + 5y = 7 will have a unique solution.
SOLUTION
Solution : A
When x=1,
2+5y=7
⇒ y = 1
When x=2,
4+5y=7
⇒y=35
When x=3,
6+5y=7
⇒y=15
When x=4,
8+5y=7
⇒y=−15
So, in natural numbers, when x>1, the value of y is <1 and progressively decreases, and then becomes negative at x = 4.
When y=2,
2x+10=7
⇒y=−32
When y=3,
2x+15=7
⇒y=−4
In natural numbers, when y>1, x<0 and progressively decreases.
Hence, in natural numbers, there is only one pair i.e., (1,1) which satisfy the given equation but in real numbers and rational numbers there are many pairs to satisfy the given linear equation.
Question 4
The standard form of a linear equation in two variables x and y, whose respective coefficients are 2 and -3 and has the constant as 4 is ____.
SOLUTION
Solution : D
The standard form of a linear equation in 2 variables x and y is given by ax + by + c = 0.
It is given that a = 2, b = -3 and c = 4.
Therefore, the linear equation is 2x−3y+4=0
Question 5
What will be the linear equation for the given graph?
x=2y
y=2x+5
y=2x+3
2y=x+1
SOLUTION
Solution : C
The coordinates of the points of the graph (0,3) & (-1.5,0) satisfy only the equation y=2x+3:
(0, 3):
3 = 2 x 1 + 3
(-1.5, 0):
0 = 2 × (-1.5) + 3
Question 6
Which of following is a solution of the equation, 2x+3y=11?
x=1, y=3
x=0, y=5
x=−2, y=−5
x=9, y=1
SOLUTION
Solution : A
Substituting each set of the values for x and y in the equation 2x+3y=11, we have
(i) x=1, y=3LHS=(2×1)+(3×3)=11=RHS (ii) x=0, y=5LHS=(2×0)+(3×5)=15≠RHS (iii) x=−2, y=−5LHS=(2×−2)+(3×−5)=−19≠RHS (iv) x=9, y=1LHS=(2×9)+(3×1)=21≠RHS
∴x=1, y=3 is solution to the given equation.
Question 7
If kx - 2ky + 15 = 0 passes through the point (3,-1), then k = -3.
True
False
SOLUTION
Solution : A
Putting x = 3 , y = -1 in the given equation,
k x 3 - 2 x k x -1 + 15 = 0
⇒ 3k + 2k + 15 = 0
⇒ k = -3
Question 8
The equation y=mx represents ___ ;
where, (m≠0).
SOLUTION
Solution : C
Given equation: y=mx
Substituting x=0,
y=m×0=0
So, if x = 0, then y = 0.
i.e, (0,0) is a point on the line.
Therefore, the line passes through the origin.
Question 9
Why is a first degree polynomial in two variables ax + by + c = 0, called a linear equation?
It has infinitely many solutions
The geometrical representation is a straight line
It has two variables
None of the above
SOLUTION
Solution : B
The degree (the highest power on any variable) of the given equation is 1. Hence, its geometrical representation is a straight line.
Question 10
The points (1,0), (-4,0) and (5,0) lie on
SOLUTION
Solution : A
We can observe that all the points have zero as their y coordinates.
(1,0), (-4,0) and (5,0)
y = 0 is the equation of X - axis.
Hence, all the points lie on the X axis.
