3x + 6y + 33 = 0

Solution: 

Given that, x – 2y + 11 = 0 and 3x + 6y + 33 = 0

Now, x – 2y + 11 = 0

x = 2y -11

When y = 5, we get x = -1

When y = 4, we get x = -3

So, the following table giving points on the line x – 2y + 11 = 0

x -1 -3
y 5 -4

Now, 3x – 6y + 33 = 0

x = (6y – 33)/3

When y = 6, we get x = -1

When y = 5, we get x = -1

So, the following table giving points on the line 3x – 6y + 33 = 0

x 1 -1
y 6 5

So, the graph of the equations x – 2y + 11 = 0 and 3x + 6y + 33 = 0:

From the graph we conclude that the graphs of the two equations are coincident

Hence, the system of equations has infinitely many solutions.

6x – 10y = – 40

Solution: 

Given that, 3x – 5y = 20 and 6x – 10y = – 40

Now, 3x – 5y = 20

x = (5y + 20)/3

When y = -1, we get x = 5

When y = – 4, we get x = 0

So, the following table giving points on the line 3x – 5y = 20

x 5 0
y -1 -4

Now, 6x – 10y = – 40

x = (6y – 40)/6

When y = 4, we get x = 0

When y = 1, we get x = – 5

So, the following table giving points on the line 6x – 10y = – 40

x 0 -5
y 4 1

Now, x – 2y = 6

x = 6 + 2y

When y = 0, we get x = 6

When y = -2, we get x = 2

So, the following table giving points on the line x – 2y = 6

x 6 2
y 0 -2

Now, 3x – 6y = 0

= x = 2y

When y = 0, we get x = 0

Given that, 2y – x = 9 and 6y – 3x = 21

Now, 2y – x = 9

x = -9 + 2y

When y = 3, we get x = -3

When y = 4, we get x = -1

So, the following table giving points on the line 2y – x = 9

x -3 -1
y 3 4

Now, 6y – 3x = 21

x = 2y – 7

When y = 2, we get x = -3

Solution: 

Given that, x – 2y = 2 and 4x – 2y = 5

Now, x – 2y = 2

x = 2 + 2y

When y = 0 then, x = 2

When y = -1 then, x = 0

So, the following table giving points on the line x – 2y = 2
