c + b – 5a = 7k + 5k – 5(2k) = 12k – 10k = 2k
c – b – a = 7k – 5k – 2k = 0
Now, (c + b – 5a, c – b – a) º (2k, 0) is a solution of 2x + y – 8 = 0.

Solution 3(5):
Given,
a = 2k, b = 5k, c = 7k and k ≠ 0 and k ∈ R.
2a + b – c – 2 = 2(2k) + 5k – (7k) – 2 = 2k – 2
3b + 2a – 3c + 2 = 3(5k) + 2(2k) – 3(7k) + 2 = -2k + 2 Now, (2a + b – c – 2, 3b + 2a – 3c + 2) º (2k – 2, -2k
+2) is the point of intersection of the co-ordinate axes i.e. the origin (0, 0).
(2k – 2, -2k +2) = (0, 0)
∴2k – 2 = 0 and -2k + 2 = 0
∴2k = 2 and 2k = 2
[∵ Both the equations are identical, we consider only one equation (2k = 2)]
∴ 2k = 2
∴ k = 1

The given equation is x + y = 0.
∴ y = -x
For x = 0 ⇒ y = 0
For x = 2 ⇒ y = -2
For x = -2 ⇒ y = -(-2) = 2
Hence, the three solution of x + y = 0 can be given as (0, 0), (2, -2) and (-2, 2).
Now, plot the points (0, 0), (2, -2) and (-2, 2).
Draw the line passing through them to get the graph of x + y = 0.
The graph of x + y = 0 intersects both the axes at (0, 0).

The given equation is x – y = 0.
∴ y = x
For x = 0 ⇒ y = 0
For x = 2 ⇒ y = 2
For x = -2 ⇒ y = -2
Hence, three solution of x – y = 0 can be given as (0, 0), (2, 2) and (-2, -2).
Now, plot the points (0, 0), (2, 2) and (-2, -2) and draw the line passing through them to get the graph of x – y = 0.
The graph of x – y = 0 intersects both the axes at (0, 0).

For x = 0 ⇒ y = 2 – 0 = 2
For x = -1 ⇒ y = 2 – (-1) = 3
For x = 2 ⇒ y = 2 – 2 = 0
Hence, three solution of x + y = 2 can be given as (0, 2), (-1, 3) and (2, 0).
Now, plot the points (0, 2), (-1, 3) and (2, 0) and draw the line passing through them to get the graph of x + y = 2.
The graph of x + y = 2 intersects the X-axis at (2, 0) and the Y-axis at (0, 2).
Solution 4(4):
The given equation is x – y = 3.
∴ x – 3 = y
∴ y = x – 3
For x = 1 ⇒ y = 1 – 3 = -2
For x = 2 ⇒ y = 2 – 3 = -1
For x = 4 ⇒ y = 4 – 3 = 1
So, three solutions of x – y = 3 can be given as (1, -2), (2, -1) and (4, 1).
Now, plot the points (1, -2), (2, -1) and (4, 1).
Draw the line passing through them to get the graph of x – y = 3.

∴ y = 2
But, x is absent in the equation.
So, for any value of x, the value of y is 2 always.
Three solution of 4y – 8 = 0 can be given as (0, 2), (-2 , 2) and (2, 2).
Now, plot the points (0, 2), (-2 , 2) and (2, 2).
Draw the line passing through them to get the graph of 4y – 8 = 0.
The graph of 4y – 8 = 0 intersects the yY-axis at (0, 2), but it does not intersect the X-axis parallel to the X-axis.

∴ 2x – x = -1 – 3
∴ x = -4
To represent the solution in the Cartesian plane, x = -4 is taken as the linear equation x + 0y = -4.
But, y is absent in the equation.
So, for any value of y, the value of x is always -4.
Then three solutions of the equation can be given as (-4, 3), (-4, 0) and (-4, -3). - The given equation is 3y + 3 = x – 1.
