Q6(ii):
Given the linear equation 2x + 3y – 8 = 0, write another linear equation in two variables such that the geometrical representation of the pair so formed is: (ii) parallel lines
Solution :
Given: A linear equation in two variables, $2x + 3y - 8 = 0$.
To Find: Another linear equation in two variables such that the pair of equations represents parallel lines.
Theoretical Background:
For a pair of linear equations in two variables of the form:
$a_1x + b_1y + c_1 = 0$
$a_2x + b_2y + c_2 = 0$
The lines are parallel if and only if the ratios of the coefficients of $x$ and $y$ are equal, but the ratio of the constant terms is different. Mathematically, the condition is:
$\frac{a_1}{a_2} = \frac{b_1}{b_2} \neq \frac{c_1}{c_2}$
Step 1: Identify the coefficients of the given equation.
Given equation: $2x + 3y - 8 = 0$
Here, $a_1 = 2$, $b_1 = 3$, and $c_1 = -8$.
Step 2: Determine the coefficients for the second equation.
To satisfy the condition $\frac{a_1}{a_2} = \frac{b_1}{b_2}$, we can multiply $a_1$ and $b_1$ by a common constant $k$. Let us choose $k = 2$.
$a_2 = 2 \times 2 = 4$
$b_2 = 3 \times 2 = 6$
Now, we must ensure $\frac{c_1}{c_2} \neq \frac{a_1}{a_2}$. Since $\frac{a_1}{a_2} = \frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2}$, we must choose $c_2$ such that $\frac{-8}{c_2} \neq \frac{1}{2}$.
If we choose $c_2 = -9$, then $\frac{-8}{-9} = \frac{8}{9}$, which is clearly not equal to $\frac{1}{2}$.
Step 3: Formulate the second equation.
Using the coefficients $a_2 = 4$, $b_2 = 6$, and $c_2 = -9$, the equation is:
$4x + 6y - 9 = 0$
Verification:
$\frac{a_1}{a_2} = \frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2}$
$\frac{b_1}{b_2} = \frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{2}$
$\frac{c_1}{c_2} = \frac{-8}{-9} = \frac{8}{9}$
Since $\frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{2} \neq \frac{8}{9}$, the condition for parallel lines is satisfied.
Final Answer: One such linear equation is 4x + 6y - 9 = 0. (Note: Many such equations are possible by choosing different values for k and c2).

Ability to connect with children (or with older students), on a personal level. communication and social skills.Teaching can be quite satisfying for people who do it well. I know this because I am a teacher, too. Although I do not think I'm always the best teacher, do I know that the majority of my students love me, and I guess this is partly why good things happen in my classroom. I have spent a lot of time thinking about and done a lot of research in to the question of what characteristics make a teacher effective and how I can succeed in the classroom. Although every great teacher has their own special, unique style, I have found that there are nine specific universal qualities that are necessary for anyone who wants to teach effectively, whether they want to teach in an elementary school or a university. If any teacher possesses the following characteristics and qualities, he/she can become a very good teacher with large fan base.
Extremely wonderful classes, I think as much as my knowledge he is the only teacher who does not get angry even if you ask the same doubt for 100 times, a teacher anybody can trust and rely upon.
