Question
Solve the following equations graphically $:\ 2+\frac{3 y}{x}=\frac{6}{x} , \frac{6 x}{y}-5=\frac{4}{y}$

Answer

$2+\frac{3 y}{x}=\frac{6}{x}$
$\frac{6 x}{y}-5=\frac{4}{y}$
$2+\frac{3 y}{x}=\frac{6}{x}$
$ \Rightarrow 2 x+3 y=6 .....(1)$
$\frac{6 x}{y}-5=\frac{4}{y}$
$ \Rightarrow 6 x+5 y=4 ....(2)$
$2 x+3 y=6$
$\Rightarrow y=\frac{6-2 x}{3}$
Corresponding values of $x$ and $y$ can be tabulated as $:$​​​​​​​
$x$ $3$ $-3$ $0$
$y$ $0$ $4$ $2$
Plotting points $(3, 0), (-3, 4), (0, 2)$ and joining them, we get a line $l_1$ which is the graph of equation $(1).$
$6x - 5y = 4$
$\Rightarrow y=\frac{6 x-4}{5}$
Corresponding values of $x$ and $y$ can be tabulated as $:$
$x$ $1$ $2$ $3$
$y$ $0.4$ $1.6$ $2.8$
Plotting point $(1, 0.4), (2, 1.6), (3, 2.8)$ and joining them, we get a line $l_2$ which is the graph of equation $(2).$

The line $l_1$ and $l_2$ intersect at a unique point $\left(\frac{3}{2}, 1\right)$.
