3) Determine the values of a and b so that 2x - (a - 4)y = 2b + 1 and 4x - (a - 1)y = 5b 1 have infinite number of solutions.
4) What is the solution of √ x - √ y = 0 and 2√ x - √ y = 0 ?
5) Find the co-ordinates of the points where the line 2x - 3y = 6 meets the x-axis
and y-axis?
6) Draw the graph of the following pair of linear equations x + 3y = 6 and 2x - 3y =
12.
Hence find the area of the region bounded by x = 0; y = 0 and 2x - 3y = 12.

8) Graphically find whether the following pair of equations is consistent or
inconsistent? 5x - 8y + 1 = 0 and 3x - 24y + = 0.
9) Solve the following by substitution method:
i)
4y = x and 4x + 3y = 19.
