7.1 System of Equations Solve by graphing
A system of linear equations consists of two or more linear equations: • For example: 5x + 6y = 14 2x + 5y = 3
Ex 1) x + y = 3 5x – y = -27 Which one is the solution of this system? (1,2) or (-4,7) *Check (1,2)Check (-4,7) Is 1 + 2 ? 3Is -4 + 7 ? 3 3 = 3 yes 3 = 3 yes Is 5·1-2 ? -27Is 5·(-4)-7 ? -27 5 - 2 ? -27 -20 – 7 ? -27 -3 = -27 no -27 = -27 yes So (1,2) is not the So (-4,7) is the solution Solution of the system
Solve by Graphing Ex 1) y – x = 1 y + x = 3 y = x + 1 y = -x + 3 Therefore the solution of this system is (1,2) (1,2)
Solve by Graphing Ex 1) y = -3x + 5 y = -3x - 2 The lines are parallel, so there is no solution for this system of equations
Solve by Graphing Ex 1) 3y – 2x = 6 -12y + 8x = -24 There are infinite numbers of solution because the lines are coinciding
A system of equations is consistent if they have at least one solution • A system of equation is inconsistent if they have no solution
