Write a pair of linear equations which has the unique solution $x = -1, y = 3$. How many such pairs can you write?


Given:

A pair of linear equations has the unique solution $x = -1, y = 3$.

To do:

We have to write a pair of linear equations which has the unique solution $x = -1, y = 3$.

Solution:

We know that,

There are infinite lines passing through a point $(x, y)$.

The general form of a linear equation in two variables is $ax+by+c=0$.

Equations of pair of lines passing through the point $x = -1, y = 3$ is $4x+2y=2$ and $3x+y=0$.

There are infinite lines passing through the point $(-1, 3)$.

Therefore, we can write infinite such pairs.
