System of Linear Equations

A system of linear equations is a set of two or more linear equations that share common variables. The goal is to find the values of the variables that satisfy all equations simultaneously.

Matrix

A matrix is a rectangular array of numbers arranged in rows and columns. Each number in the matrix is called an element.

Coefficient

A coefficient is the numerical factor that multiplies a variable in a term. In a system of linear equations, the coefficients are the numbers that multiply the variables in each equation.

Matrix Representation of System of Linear Equations

When representing a system of linear equations as a matrix, each row represents a single equation, and each column corresponds to a specific variable. The elements in the matrix are the coefficients of the variables from each equation.

Creating a Matrix from a System of Linear Equations

To represent a system of linear equations in matrix form, follow these steps: 1. Arrange the coefficients of each variable in each equation into a row of the matrix. 2. Each row represents a different equation. 3. Each column corresponds to a different variable. 4. The constants on the right-hand side of the equations form a separate column.
