(N/A) Let the cost of $1$ pencil be ₹ $x$ and the cost of $1$ eraser be ₹ $y$. The algebraic representation is given by the following equations:
$2x + 3y = 9$ $.......(1)$
$4x + 6y = 18$ $.......(2)$
To represent these graphically,we find points for each line:
For equation $(1)$,$y = \frac{9 - 2x}{3}$:
$x$$0$$4.5$
$y$$3$$0$

For equation $(2)$,$y = \frac{18 - 4x}{6}$:
$x$$0$$3$
$y$$3$$1$

When we plot these points on a graph,we observe that both lines coincide. This is because the two equations are equivalent,as equation $(2)$ is simply $2$ times equation $(1)$.
