Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given that the point (k, 2) lies on the line x - 4y = 2, substitute x = k and y = 2 into the equation:

⇒ k - 4 $\times$ 2 = 2

⇒ k - 8 = 2

⇒ k = 2 + 8

⇒ k = 10

Hence, option 1 is the correct option.

1(b)Exercise 24(A)

The line y = mx - 8 passes through the point (5, 2); the value of m is :

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Since the line y = mx - 8 passes through the point (5, 2), substitute x = 5 and y = 2 into the equation:

⇒ 2 = m $\times$ 5 - 8

⇒ 2 = 5m - 8

⇒ 5m = 2 + 8

⇒ 5m = 10

⇒ m = $\frac{10}{5}$

⇒ m = 2

Hence, option 2 is the correct option.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

It is given that the line 5x - 2y - 10 = 0 intersects x-axis at point P.

At the x-axis, the y-coordinate is 0. Let P = (a, 0), where x = a and y = 0.

⇒ 5 $\times$ a - 2 $\times$ 0 - 10 = 0

⇒ 5a - 0 - 10 = 0

⇒ 5a = 10

⇒ a = $\frac{10}{5}$

⇒ a = 2

The coordinates of point P are (2, 0).

Hence, option 3 is the correct option.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

It is given that the line 5x - 4y - 20 = 0 intersects y-axis at point A.

At the y-axis, the x-coordinate is 0. Let A = (0, b) means x = 0 and y = b.

⇒ 5 $\times$ 0 - 4 $\times$ b - 20 = 0

⇒ 0 - 4b - 20 = 0

⇒ 4b + 20 = 0

⇒ 4b = - 20

⇒ b = - $\frac{20}{4}$

⇒ b = - 5

A = (0, -5)

Hence, option 4 is the correct option.

1(e)Exercise 24(A)

The point (0, 0) lies on :

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

The axes are two perpendicular lines (x-axis and y-axis) that intersect at the origin. The point (0,0), known as the origin, lies on both the x-axis and the y-axis because:

  • The x-coordinate of (0,0) is 0, which satisfies the condition for a point on the y-axis.

  • The y-coordinate of (0,0) is 0, which satisfies the condition for a point on the x-axis.

Thus, the point (0,0) lies on both the x-axis and y-axis.

Hence, option 4 is the correct option.

From your graph, find the values of 'a' and 'b'. State a linear relation between the variables x and y.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Plot the given points (-5, -2), (3, 2) and (13, 7) on a graph paper.

Draw a straight line passing through these points.

Use the table given below to draw the graph. Graphical Solution, Concise Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 9.

To find the value of 'a':

From the graph, y = 0 when x = −1.

∴ a = 0

To find the value of 'b':

Through y = 5, draw a horizontal line which meets the graph at a point, say Q. Through Q, draw a vertical line which meets the x-axis at x = 9.

∴ b = 9

Let the linear relation between the variable x and y be y = mx + c.

Since, the graph passes through the point (-5, -2); substitute x = -5 and y = -2 in y = mx + c.

This gives -2 = -5m + c ...............(1)

Again, the graph passes through the point (3, 2); substitute x = 3 and y = 2 in y = mx + c

This gives 2 = 3m + c ...............(2)

Subtracting (2) from (1),

-2 - 2 = -5m + c -3m - c

⇒ -4 = -8m

⇒ m = $\frac{4}{8}$

⇒ m = $\frac{1}{2}$

substituting the value of m in equation (1),

-2 = -5 $\times \frac{1}{2}$ + c

⇒-2 = $\frac{-5}{2}$ + c

⇒-2 + $\frac{5}{2}$ = c

⇒ $\frac{-4}{2} + \frac{5}{2}$ = c

⇒ c = $\frac{1}{2}$

∴ Required relation is : y = mx + c i.e. y = $\frac{x + 1}{2}$

Hence, a = 0 and b = 9. Linear relation : y = $\frac{x + 1}{2}$.

To find the value of 'a':

Through y = -1, draw a horizontal line which meets the graph at a point, say P. Through P, draw a vertical line which meets the x-axis at x = -3.

∴ a = -3

To find the value of 'b':

Similarly, through x = -5, draw a vertical line which meets the graph at a point, say Q. Through Q, draw a horizontal line which meets the y-axis at y = -2.

∴ b = -2

To find the value of 'c':

Similarly, through y = 4, draw a horizontal line which meets the graph at a point, say R. Through R, draw a vertical line which meets the x-axis at x = 7.

∴ c = 7

Let the linear relation between the variable x and y be y = mx + c.

Since, the graph passes through the point (3, 2); substitute x = 3 and y = 2 in y = mx + c.

This gives 2 = 3m + c ...............(1)

Again, the graph passes through the point (5, 3); substitute x = 5 and y = 3 in y = mx + c

This gives 3 = 5m + c ...............(2)

Subtracting (2) from (1),

2 - 3 = 3m + c -5m - c

⇒ -1 = -2m

⇒ m = $\frac{1}{2}$

Substituting the value of m in equation (1),

2 = 3 $\times \frac{1}{2}$ + c

⇒2 = $\frac{3}{2}$ + c

⇒2 - $\frac{3}{2}$ = c

⇒ $\frac{4}{2} - \frac{3}{2}$ = c

⇒ c = $\frac{1}{2}$

∴ Required relation is : y = mx + c i.e. x = 2y - 1

Hence, a = -3, b = -2 and c = 7. Linear relation : x = 2y - 1.

(a) Draw the vertical line through x = 30, which meets graph for C.P. at ₹ 140 and graph for S.P. at ₹ 120.

Hence, the loss = ₹ 20.

(b) Draw the vertical line through x = 60, which meets graph for C.P. at ₹ 230 and graph for S.P. at ₹ 240.

C.P. = ₹ 230 and S.P. = ₹ 240

Substituting x = 0 and y = 0 in L.H.S. of the equation ax ± by = 0, we get :

⇒ a(0) ± b(0)

⇒ 0, which is equal to R.H.S.

Since, (0, 0) satisfies the equation ax ± by = 0, thus lines of the form ax ± by = 0 always pass through the origin.

∴ Both the statements are true.

Hence, option 1 is the correct option.

Assertion (A): y + 5 = 0 is the equation of line parallel to x-axis and at the distance of 5 unit in the negative direction from it.

Reason (R): For all the points on the y = a (a constant), the value of abscissa is a.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

⇒ y + 5 = 0

⇒ y = -5

This represents a horizontal line (parallel to the x-axis) because the y-coordinate remains constant at -5 for all values of x. The line is 5 units below the x-axis since the y-coordinate of every point is −5, which is 5 units in the negative direction from the x-axis.

∴ Assertion (R) is true.

For all points on the line y = a, the value of ordinate (y-coordinate) = a.

∴ Reason (R) is false.

∴ A is true, but R is false.

Hence, option 1 is the correct option.

Assertion (A): For the line 3x + 4y = 7, the abscissa is $-\frac{3}{4}$.

Reason (R): For abscissa of a point, y = 0 and 3x + 4y = 7

⇒ 3x = 7 and x = $\frac{7}{3}$.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given, equation of line : 3x + 4y = 7

When, y = 0

⇒ 3x + 4 x 0 = 7

⇒ 3x = 7

⇒ x = $\frac{7}{3}$

∴ Reason (R) is true.

So, the abscissa is $\frac{7}{3} \text{ and not } -\frac{3}{4}$.

∴ Assertion (A) is false.

∴ A is false, but R is true.

Hence, option 2 is the correct option.

In the given figure, ABC is an equilateral triangle. Find the co-ordinates of A.

In the given figure, ABC is an equilateral triangle. Find the co-ordinates of A. Graphical Solution, Concise Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 9.
Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given:

The co-ordinates of B = (2, 0)

The co-ordinates of C = (6, 0)

So, the length of BC = 6 - 2 = 4 units

Since ABC is an equilateral triangle,

The height of the triangle = $\frac{\sqrt3}{2}a$

= $\frac{\sqrt3}{2} \times 4$

= 2 $\sqrt3$ units

The mid-point of BC = $\Big(\frac{2+6}{2}, \frac{0+0}{2}\Big)$

= (4, 0)

Since Δ ABC is equilateral, and BC lies on the x-axis:

  • The abscissa (x-coordinate) of A is the same as the midpoint of BC, i.e., x=4.

  • The ordinate (y-coordinate) of A is the height of the triangle, $\sqrt{3}$.

Hence, the co-ordinates of A are (4, 2 $\sqrt{3}$).
