  1. x+y

  2. $ \displaystyle( x^{2}+y^{2})^{-1}$

  3. xy

  4. $ \displaystyle x^{2}+y^{2}$

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:
$\left ( x+y \right )^{-1}\left ( \frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{y} \right )^{-1}\left ( xy^{-1}+x^{-1}y \right )^{-1}$
$\frac{1}{x+y}\left ( \frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{y} \right )\left ( \frac{x}{y}+\frac{y}{x}^{-1} \right )$
=$\frac{1}{x+y}\left ( \frac{x+y}{xy} \right )\left ( \frac{x^{2}+y^{2}}{xy} \right )^{-1}$
=$\frac{1}{x+y}\times \frac{x+y}{xy}\times \frac{xy}{x^{2}+y^{2}}$
=$\left ( \frac{1}{x^{2}+y^{2}} \right )=(x^{2}+y^{2})^{-1}$

Any point on $x$ axis is of the form

maths lines graphs of linear equations equations of lines parallel to the x-axis and y-axis graph of linear equations in two variables

  1. $(x,y)$

  2. $(0,y)$

  3. $(0,0)$

  4. $(x,0)$

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Any point on $x$ axis is of the form $(x,0)$ and any point on $y$ axis is of the form $(0,y)$. 

For example, $(5,0)$ is a point that lies on $x$ axis.

Any point on $y$ axis is of the form

  1. $(x,y)$

  2. $(0,y)$

  3. $(y,y)$

  4. $(x,0)$

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Any point on $x$ axis is of the form $(x,0)$ and any point on $y$ axis is of the form $(0,y)$. 

For example, $(0,5)$ is a point that lies on $y$ axis.

$y = 2$ is a line

  1. Parallel to $x$-axis

  2. Parallel to $y$-axis

  3. Passing through origin

  4. None

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

In general, $x=a$ is a line lies on $x$ axis and parallel to $y$ axis and $y=b$ is a line lies on $y$ axis and parallel to $x$ axis.

Hence, $y=2$ is a line parallel to $x$ axis.

The line $x - 7 = 0$ is

  1. Parallel to $y$-axis.

  2. Parallel to $x$-axis.

  3. Passing through the origin.

  4. None of these.

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The line will have a constant value of $x=7$,i.e, only $y$ will vary so it is parallel to $y-axis$.

The angles between the lines $3 x + y - 7 = 0 \text { and } x + 2 y + 9 = 0$ is:

  1. $\dfrac { \pi } { 3 }$

  2. $\dfrac { \pi } { 6 }$

  3. $\dfrac { \pi } { 2 }$

  4. $\dfrac { \pi } { 4 }$

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:
Slope of the line $y=-3x+7$ is $-3$
Slope of the line $2y=-x-9$ or $y=\dfrac{-1}{2}x-\dfrac{9}{2}$ is $-\dfrac{1}{2}$

$\therefore\,{m} _{1}=-3,\,{m} _{2}=-\dfrac{1}{2}$

Angle between the line $=\tan{\theta}=\left|\dfrac{{m} _{1}-{m} _{2}}{1+{m} _{1}{m} _{2}}\right|$

$=\left|\dfrac{-3+\dfrac{1}{2}}{1+\left(-3\right)\left(-\dfrac{1}{2}\right)}\right|$

$=\left|\dfrac{\dfrac{-5}{2}}{1+\dfrac{3}{2}}\right|$

$=\left|\dfrac{\dfrac{-5}{2}}{\dfrac{2+3}{2}}\right|$

$=\left|\dfrac{\dfrac{-5}{2}}{\dfrac{5}{2}}\right|$

$\tan{\theta}=1$

$\therefore\,\theta=\dfrac{\pi}{4}$

If $4x+3y=120$, find how many non-negative integer solutions are possible?

maths lines graphs of linear equations equations of lines parallel to the x-axis and y-axis graph of linear equations in two variables

  1. $1$

  2. $11$

  3. Infinite

  4. None of these

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

We can write the equation in another form $4(x-3)+3(y+4)=120$
Now, we make a table

x 30 27 24 21 18 15 12 9 6 3 0
y 0 4 8 12 16 20 24 28 32 36 40

 We observe a patter that $x$ reduces by $3$ and $y$ increases by $4$. But both $x$ and $y$ cannot be negative or $0$. So, the value of $x=0$ and $y=0$ is ruled out. Hence, nine such positive integer solutions are possible.
Alternately, we can write the given equation as $4(x+3)+3(y-4)=120$. We get the same values of $x$ and $y$

In the equation $2x - 3y = 12$. The value of $x$ and $y$ that satisfy the equation are-

  1. $(5, 3)$

  2. $(2, 3)$

  3. $(6, 0)$

  4. $(3,12)$

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Put $\displaystyle x=6$ and $\displaystyle y=0$ in given equation.
$\displaystyle 2x-3y=2\times 6-3\times 0$
=12-0
=12
Hence, the value of x and y that satisfy the equation are (6,0).
