Study Notes
Linear Equations
- Slope of a Line: The slope (a) of a line passing through points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is calculated as: a = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)
- Example: A line through (2, -1) and (-2, -11) has a slope of a = (-11 - (-1)) / (-2 - 2) = -10 / -4 = 5/2
Budget Lines
- Definition: A budget line shows possible combinations of two goods that can be purchased with a given budget.
-
Equation: PX * X + PY * Y = B, where:
- PX = price of good X
- PY = price of good Y
- X = quantity of good X
- Y = quantity of good Y
- B = budget
- Example: A company with £6,000 to spend on toasters (price £5) and kettles (price £12) has a budget line: 5T + 12K = 6,000 (where T= toasters, K= kettles)
Supply and Demand Analysis
- Equilibrium: Where quantity demanded (Qd) equals quantity supplied (Qs)
-
Equations:
- Demand: P = -Q + 125
- Supply: 2P = 3Q + 40 (or 2(P - 5) = 3Q + 30 for tax scenario)
-
Equilibrium Price & Quantity Calculation:
- Solve the system of equations to find P and Q where Qd = Qs.
-
Tax Impact: A tax on each good changes the supply equation, impacting the equilibrium price.
- New supply equation (with tax): 2P = 3Q + 40
Graphs of Linear Equations
- Coordinate System: Uses an x-axis (horizontal) and y-axis (vertical). The point where they cross is the origin (0,0).
- Points: Points are identified by their coordinates (x, y).
- Linear Equation Form: y = ax + b is a linear equation, represented graphically by a straight line.
- General Form: cx + dy = e (where c, d, and e are constants, c and d are not both zero)
