Answer
(i) x = 5

(ii) x + 5 = 0
x = -5

(iii) y = 7

(iv) y + 7 = 0
y = -7

(v) 2x + 3y = 0
Step 1:
Give at least three suitable values to the variable x and find the corresponding values of y.
Let x = -1, then 2 (-1) + 3y = 0 ⇒ y = 0.6
Let x = 0, then 2 0 + 3y = 0 ⇒ y = 0
Let x = 1, then 2 1 + 3y = 0 ⇒ y = - 0.6
Step 2:
Make a table (as given below) for the different pairs of the values of x and y:
| x | -1 | 0 | 1 |
|---|---|---|---|
| y | 0.6 | 0 | -0.6 |
Step 3:
Plot the points, from the table, on a graph paper and then draw a straight line passing through the points plotted on the graph.

(vi) 3x + 2y = 6
Step 1:
Give at least three suitable values to the variable x and find the corresponding values of y.
Let x = -1, then 3 (-1) + 2y = 6 ⇒ y = 4.5
Let x = 0, then 3 0 + 2y = 6 ⇒ y = 3
Let x = 1, then 3 1 + 2y = 6 ⇒ y = 1.5
Step 2:
Make a table (as given below) for the different pairs of the values of x and y:
| x | -1 | 0 | 1 |
|---|---|---|---|
| y | 4.5 | 3 | 1.5 |
Step 3:
Plot the points, from the table, on a graph paper and then draw a straight line passing through the points plotted on the graph.

(vii) x - 5y + 4 = 0
Step 1:
Give at least three suitable values to the variable x and find the corresponding values of y.
Let x = -2, then (-2) - 5y + 4 = 0 ⇒ y = 0.4
Let x = 0, then 0 - 5y + 4 = 0 ⇒ y = 0.8
Let x = 2, then 2 - 5y + 4 = 0 ⇒ y = 1.2
Step 2:
Make a table (as given below) for the different pairs of the values of x and y:
| x | -2 | 0 | 2 |
|---|---|---|---|
| y | 0.4 | 0.8 | 1.2 |
Step 3:
Plot the points, from the table, on a graph paper and then draw a straight line passing through the points plotted on the graph.

(viii) 5x + y + 5 = 0
Step 1:
Give at least three suitable values to the variable x and find the corresponding values of y.
Let x = -1, then 5 (-1) + y + 5 = 0 ⇒ y = 0
Let x = 0, then 5 0 + y + 5 = 0 ⇒ y = -5
Let x = 1, then 5 1 + y + 5 = 0 ⇒ y = -10
Step 2:
Make a table (as given below) for the different pairs of the values of x and y:
| x | -1 | 0 | 1 |
|---|---|---|---|
| y | 0 | -5 | -10 |
Step 3:
Plot the points, from the table, on a graph paper and then draw a straight line passing through the points plotted on the graph.
