Study Notes
Linear Equations
- A linear equation represents a straight line.
- The highest power of any variable in a linear equation is 1.
- Linear equations can have one or more variables.
Rectangular Coordinates
- The horizontal axis is the x-axis.
- The vertical axis is the y-axis.
- The point where the x and y axes intersect is the origin (0,0).
- The axes divide the plane into four quadrants (numbered counterclockwise).
Slope of a Line
- Slope (m) measures the steepness of a line.
- The formula for calculating slope is: m = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁) where (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) are two points on the line.
- A horizontal line has a slope of 0.
- A vertical line has an undefined slope.
Intercepts of a Line
- The x-intercept is the point where the line crosses the x-axis (y = 0).
- The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis (x = 0).
Forms of Linear Equations
- General Form: Ax + By = C, where A, B, and C are constants, and x and y are variables. A and B cannot both be zero.
- Point-Slope Form: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁), where m is the slope and (x₁, y₁) is a point on the line.
- Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
Graphing Linear Equations
- To graph a linear equation, find the intercepts (x-intercept and y-intercept) and plot them on the coordinate plane.
- Connect the plotted points to form a straight line.
Solving Systems of Linear Equations
- Substitution Method: Solve one equation for one variable, and substitute that expression into the other equation to solve for the remaining variable.
- Elimination Method: Manipulate the equations (multiplying or adding) to eliminate one variable and solve for the other.
Pairs of Linear Equations
- Coincident: The lines overlap completely.
- Parallel: The lines never intersect.
- Intersecting: The lines cross at a single point.
