Study Notes
Parallel and Perpendicular Lines
- Parallel lines run side by side, like runways.
- Perpendicular lines meet at a 90° angle, indicated by a square box at the intersection.
- Train tracks must be precisely parallel; otherwise, derailment will occur, even when the tracks curve.
- A right or left turn can be made when driving on a street that intersects with an avenue.
Slopes and Reciprocals
- To find a line perpendicular to another, the opposite reciprocal of a slope is needed.
- The opposite of 5 is negative 5.
- If a line (L3) is perpendicular to another line (L2), their slopes are opposite reciprocals.
- If L2 has a slope of 1, the slope of L3 is -1.
Solving Systems of Equations
- Solving a system of equations involves solving for X and Y.
- Methods to solve include graphing, elimination, and substitution.
- Graphing without graph paper is less accurate.
- The intersection point of two graphed lines represents the solution to the system, providing both x and y values.
- If two lines intersect at point (1, 3), x = 1 and y = 3.
- To solve for two variables (x and y), two equations are required.
- Systems of equations are also called simultaneous equations.
Graphing Method
- To graph the equation x + 2y = 8, find x and y intercepts.
- Setting y to zero allows solving for x, and vice versa.
