Detailed Solution

Given that, x-y-4=0;x+y=3.
Plotting x-y-4=0,
For x=0, we get,
0-y-4=0
-y=4,
y=-4.
For y=0, we get,
x-(0)-4=0,
x-4=0,
x=4.
For y=1, we get,
x-1-4=0,
x-5=0,
x=5.
Join the three points (0,-4), (4,0) and (5,1) by drawing line.
Plotting x+y=3,
For x=0, we get,
(0)+y=3
y=3.
For y=0, we get,
x+0=3
x=3
For y=1, we get,
x+1=3
x=2
Join the three points (0,3), (3,0) and (2,1) by drawing line.
Question ImageThe point of intersection of both lines is (3.5,-0.5).
The solution of the equation is the point of intersection of the two lines.
Thus, the solution is x=3.5 and y=-0.5.
Therefore, option (2) is correct.
