The solution to the given system of linear equations lies in which quadrant? 1, 2, 3, or 4 class=

Verified Answer :

Lies on the 4th quadrant

Answer:

The correct option is 4. The solution of given system of equation is (3,-1), which lies in 4th quadrant.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equations are

\(x-3y=6\)                  .... (1)

\(x+y=2\)                   .... (2)

Subtract equation (2) from equation (1).

\(x-3y-(x+y)=6-2\)

\(x-3y-x-y=4\)

\(-4y=4\)

Divide both sides by -4.

\(y=-1\)

The value of y is -1.

Substitute y=-1 in equation (1).

\(x-3(-1)=6\)

\(x+3=6\)

Subtract 3 from both sides.

\(x=6-3\)

\(x=3\)

The solution of given system of equation is (3,-1).

Since the x coordinate is positive and y coordinate is negative, therefore the solution of given system of equation lies in 4th quadrant.
