 Activity
Objective
To obtain a linear equation and draw a graph which represents the linear equation.
Prerequisite Knowledge
Concept of linear equation.
To represent the co-ordinates on cartesian plane.
Materials Required
Graph paper, pens, pencil, eraser, ruler.
Procedure
Let us consider a situation. Suppose you have 60 rupees to spend. You went to a stationery shop to buy
some pencils and some pens. Cost of 1 pencil is Rs. 2 and the cost of 1 pen is Rs. 4. Find the number of
pencils and pens bought by you from the shop.
1. Construct a linear equation in two variables.
2. Let the number of pencils be xand number of pens be y.
3. According to the given situation, 60 = 2x + 4y.
4. Now we have to represent this situation on the graph paper.
5. By taking different values of x we get different values of y. Put different values of x given in table to
get corresponding values y as shown.
x 0 2 4 6
y 15 14 13 12

6. Take a graph paper and a cartesian system is drawn, i.e., x-axis and y-axis are drawn.
7. Plot the coordinates from the above table on the graph and name them as A(0,15), B(2,14), C(4,13),
D(6,12).
8. On joining the points A, B, C and D we get a straight line.
