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)
