(N/A) To find solutions for the linear equation $x + 2y = 6$,we can assign arbitrary values to one variable and solve for the other.
$1$. Let $x = 0$. Then $0 + 2y = 6$,which gives $2y = 6$,so $y = 3$. Thus,$(0, 3)$ is a solution.
$2$. Let $y = 0$. Then $x + 2(0) = 6$,which gives $x = 6$. Thus,$(6, 0)$ is a solution.
$3$. Let $x = 2$. Then $2 + 2y = 6$,which gives $2y = 4$,so $y = 2$. Thus,$(2, 2)$ is a solution.
$4$. Let $y = 1$. Then $x + 2(1) = 6$,which gives $x + 2 = 6$,so $x = 4$. Thus,$(4, 1)$ is a solution.
Therefore,four different solutions of the equation are $(0, 3)$,$(6, 0)$,$(2, 2)$,and $(4, 1)$.

The taxi fare in a city is as follows:
For the first kilometre,the fare is Rs. $8$ and for the subsequent distance it is Rs. $5$ per $km$. Taking the distance covered as $x \, km$ and total fare as Rs. $y$,write a linear equation for this information,and draw its graph.

If the work done by a body on application of a constant force is directly proportional to the distance travelled by the body,express this in the form of an equation in two variables and draw the graph of the same by taking the constant force as $5$ units. Also,read from the graph the work done when the distance travelled by the body is:
$(i)$ $2$ units
$(ii)$ $0$ units
