Given : a system of linear equations in two variables
one equation represents a vertical line and
the other equation represents a horizontal line
To Find : Is it possible to use substitution or elimination
Solution:
ax + by + c = 0 linear equation
pair of linear equations
a₁x + b₁y + c₁ = 0
a₂x + b₂y + c₂ = 0
Vertical line => a₁x + c₁ = 0
Horizontal line => b₂y + c₂ = 0
a₁x + c₁ = 0 => x = -c₁/a₁
b₂y + c₂ = 0 => y = - c₂/b₂
We can solve each equation individually so we need not to use substitution or elimination method
as each linear Equation has only variable
x = 3 , y = 4
Solution is ( 3 , 4)
