Step-by-step explanation:
Maths
Solve graphically the pair of equations x+2y=4; 2x+4y=8.
Answer
We find three points for each equation, by choosing three values of x and computing the corresponding y values. We show our results in tables.
Line 1: x+2y=4
2y=−x+4⇒y=−

Substituting x=−2,0,2 in the above equation, we get the corresponding y values as

We plot these points in a graph paper and draw the lines. Then we find that both the lines coincide. Any point on one line is also a point on the other. That is all points on the line are common points. Therefore each point on the line is a solution. Hence there are infinitely many solution.
