Question
Use the graphical method to show that the straight lines given by the equations x + y = 2, x - 2y = 5 and `x/(3) + y = 0` pass through the same point.

Solution
The equations can be written as follows:
y = 2 - x
y = `(1)/(2)(x - 5)`
y = `- x/(3)`
First prepare a table as follows:
| X | Y = 2 - x | Y = `(1)/(2)(x - 5)` | Y = `-x/(3)` |
| - 1 | 3 | - 3 | `(1)/(3)` |
| 0 | 2 | `-(5)/(2)` | 0 |
| 1 | 1 | - 2 | `-(1)/(3)` |
Thus the graph can be drawn as follows:
From the graph it is clear that the equation of lines are passes through the same point.
