Study Notes

Systems of Linear Equations: Graphing Solutions

  • Graphing the equations -1/2y = 1/2x + 5 and y = 2x + 2 gives a solution of (-4, -6).
  • The system 2y = x + 10 and 3y = 3x + 15 has one solution, with both equations sharing the same y-intercept.
  • The system 3y = 3/2x + 6 and 1/2y - 1/4x = 3 results in no solution.
  • The solution to the equations 2x + 3y = 16.9 and 5x = y + 7.4 is approximately (2.3, 4.1) rounded to the nearest tenth.
  • Plant growth equations: Plant A: y = 1.8x + 3.1 and Plant B: y = 2.3x + 1.9 intersect at about 2.4 weeks.
  • For the system involving 3y + 12 = 6x and 2y = 4x + b to have infinitely many solutions, b must equal -8.

Advantages of Using Graphing Calculators

  • Graphing calculators provide more accurate results than hand-drawn graphs, especially with fractional or decimal slopes and y-intercepts.
  • They increase efficiency by accepting various forms of linear equations and allowing quick adjustments to graph settings without redrawing.
