Given that A(3, 5) and B(1, 4) lie on the graph of the line ax + by = 7 → (1)
Hence both the points satisfy the given equation
Put x = 3 and y = 5 in (1)

⇒ 3a + 5b = 7 ........ (2)


Similarly, B(1, 4) satisfy (1)
Put x = 1 and y = 4 in (1), we get
a + 4b = 7 
Multiply above equation with '3', we get
3a + 12b = 21 ....... (3)


Subtract (2) and (3)


3a + 12b = 21
3a + 5b = 7
---------------
  7b = 14
∴ b = 2
Put b = 2 in (2), we get


3a + 5(2) = 7
⇒ 3a = – 3
∴  a = – 1
