Step-by-step solution

Here are the solutions to the problems.

1.

  1. Identify the type of equation.

    The equation y=3x+5y = 3x + 5 is a linear equation in two variables (xx and yy).

  2. Determine the number of solutions for a linear equation in two variables.

    A linear equation in two variables represents a straight line in a coordinate plane. Every point on this line is a solution to the equation. Since a straight line consists of an infinite number of points, a linear equation in two variables has infinitely many solutions.

  3. Select the correct option.

    Therefore, option (iii) is true.
    The equation y=3x+5y = 3x + 5 has (iii) infinitely many solutions.

    2.
    We need to write four solutions for each equation.

    • 2(i) 2x+y=72x + y = 7
  4. Express yy in terms of xx.

    $$
    y = 7 - 2x
    $$
    
  5. Choose four arbitrary values for xx and calculate the corresponding yy values.

    • If x=0x = 0, y=7−2(0)=7y = 7 - 2(0) = 7. Solution: (0,7)(0, 7)
    • If x=1x = 1, y=7−2(1)=5y = 7 - 2(1) = 5. Solution: (1,5)(1, 5)
    • If x=2x = 2, y=7−2(2)=3y = 7 - 2(2) = 3. Solution: (2,3)(2, 3)
    • If x=3x = 3, y=7−2(3)=1y = 7 - 2(3) = 1. Solution: (3,1)(3, 1) Four solutions are: (0,7),(1,5),(2,3),(3,1)\boxed{(0, 7), (1, 5), (2, 3), (3, 1)}
    • 2(ii) πx+y=9\pi x + y = 9
  6. Express yy in terms of xx.

    $$
    y = 9 - \pi x
    $$
    
  7. Choose four arbitrary values for xx and calculate the corresponding yy values.

    • If x=0x = 0, y=9−π(0)=9y = 9 - \pi(0) = 9. Solution: (0,9)(0, 9)
    • If x=1x = 1, y=9−π(1)=9−πy = 9 - \pi(1) = 9 - \pi. Solution: (1,9−π)(1, 9 - \pi)
    • If x=2x = 2, y=9−π(2)=9−2πy = 9 - \pi(2) = 9 - 2\pi. Solution: (2,9−2π)(2, 9 - 2\pi)
    • If x=−1x = -1, y=9−π(−1)=9+πy = 9 - \pi(-1) = 9 + \pi. Solution: (−1,9+π)(-1, 9 + \pi) Four solutions are: (0,9),(1,9−π),(2,9−2π),(−1,9+π)\boxed{(0, 9), (1, 9 - \pi), (2, 9 - 2\pi), (-1, 9 + \pi)}
    • 2(iii) x=4yx = 4y
  8. Express xx in terms of yy.

    (Already done) x=4y x = 4y

  9. Choose four arbitrary values for yy and calculate the corresponding xx values.

    • If y=0y = 0, x=4(0)=0x = 4(0) = 0. Solution: (0,0)(0, 0)
    • If y=1y = 1, x=4(1)=4x = 4(1) = 4. Solution: (4,1)(4, 1)
    • If y=2y = 2, x=4(2)=8x = 4(2) = 8. Solution: (8,2)(8, 2)
    • If y=−1y = -1, x=4(−1)=−4x = 4(-1) = -4. Solution: (−4,−1)(-4, -1) Four solutions are: (0,0),(4,1),(8,2),(−4,−1)\boxed{(0, 0), (4, 1), (8, 2), (-4, -1)}

    3.
    We need to check which of the given points are solutions to the equation x−2y=4x - 2y = 4.

    • 3(i) (0,2)(0, 2)
  10. Substitute x=0x=0 and y=2y=2 into the equation.

    $$
    0 - 2(2) = 0 - 4 = -4
    $$
    
  11. Compare the result with the right side of the equation.

    Since $-4 \neq 4$, $(0, 2)$ is **not a solution**.
    
    • 3(ii) (2,0)(2, 0)
  12. Substitute x=2x=2 and y=0y=0 into the equation.

    $$
    2 - 2(0) = 2 - 0 = 2
    $$
    
  13. Compare the result with the right side of the equation.

    Since $2 \neq 4$, $(2, 0)$ is **not a solution**.
    
    • 3(iii) (4,0)(4, 0)
  14. Substitute x=4x=4 and y=0y=0 into the equation.

    $$
    4 - 2(0) = 4 - 0 = 4
    $$
    
  15. Compare the result with the right side of the equation.

    Since $4 = 4$, $(4, 0)$ **is a solution**.
    
    • 3(iv) (2,42)(\sqrt{2}, 4\sqrt{2})
  16. Substitute x=2x=\sqrt{2} and y=42y=4\sqrt{2} into the equation.

    $$
    \sqrt{2} - 2(4\sqrt{2}) = \sqrt{2} - 8\sqrt{2} = -7\sqrt{2}
    $$
    
  17. Compare the result with the right side of the equation.

    Since $-7\sqrt{2} \neq 4$, $(\sqrt{2}, 4\sqrt{2})$ is **not a solution**.
    
    • 3(v) (1,1)(1, 1)
  18. Substitute x=1x=1 and y=1y=1 into the equation.

    $$
    1 - 2(1) = 1 - 2 = -1
    $$
    
  19. Compare the result with the right side of the equation.

    Since $-1 \neq 4$, $(1, 1)$ is **not a solution**.
    

    Here's a summary of the solutions for x−2y=4x - 2y = 4:

    • (0,2)(0, 2) is not a solution.
    • (2,0)(2, 0) is not a solution.
    • (4,0)(4, 0) is a solution.
    • (2,42)(\sqrt{2}, 4\sqrt{2}) is not a solution.
    • (1,1)(1, 1) is not a solution.
