From the choices given below, choose the equation whose graph is given in Fig. 13.14
(i) y=x+2
(ii) y=x-2
(iii) y=-x+2
(iv) x+2y=6.
[Hint: Clearly, (2,0) and (-1,3) satisfy the equation y=-x+2]
The line passes through (-1, 3) and (2, 0)
(i) y = x + 2
⇒ 3 = -1 + 2
⇒ 3 = 1 which is not true
(ii) y = x – 2
⇒ 3 = -1 – 2
⇒ 3 = -3 which is not true
(iii) y = -x + 2
⇒ 3 = 1 + 2
⇒ 3 = 3
Also, for (2, 0)
⇒ 0 = -2 + 2
⇒ 0 = 0
Thus, y = -x + 2 is the equation
(iv) x + 2y = 6
⇒ -1 + 6 = 6
⇒ 5 = 6 which is not true
