Solving Systems of Equations byGraphing Algebra 1 ~ Chapter 7.1
** A system of linear equations is a set of two or more linear equations containing two or more variables and connected with a bracket. ** A solution of a system of linear equations with two variables is an ordered pair that satisfies each equation in the system. ** So, if an ordered pair is a solution, it will make both equations true.
y = 2x – 1 y = –x + 5 All solutions of a linear equation are on its graph. To find a solution of a system of linear equations, you need a point that each line has in common. In other words, you need their point of intersection. The point (2, 3) is where the two lines intersect and is a solution of both equations, so (2, 3) is the solution of the systems.
y = 2x – 1 y = –x + 5 Checking to make sure you graphed the lines correctly, therefore checking for SURE your answer. In the previous slide we graphed the 2 lines and found (2, 3) to be the solution. Check your answer by plugging in (2, 3) to each line. y = 2x – 1 3 = 2(2) – 1 3 = 4 – 1 3 = 3 y = -x + 5 3 = -(2) + 5 3 = -2 + 5 3 = 3
Check Substitute (–1, –1) into the system. y = –2x– 3 y = x (–1)–2(–1)–3 (–1) (–1) –12– 3 –1 –1 –1 – 1 Ex. 1 - Solve the system by graphing, then check your solution. The solution appears to be at (–1, –1). y = x y = –2x – 3 y = x • y = –2x – 3 The solution is (–1, –1).
y = x + 5 y = x+ 5 y = –2x– 1 3–2+ 5 3 –2(–2)– 1 y = –2x – 1 3 3 3 4 – 1 3 3 Ex. 2 - Solve the system by graphing. Check your solution. The solution appears to be (–2, 3). y = –2x – 1 y = x + 5 Check Substitute (–2, 3) into the system. The solution is (–2, 3).
2x + y = 4 –2x – 2x y = –2x + 4 Ex. 3 - Solve the system by graphing. Check your answer. 2x + y = 4 Rewrite the second equation in slope-intercept form. y = –2x + 4 The solution appears to be (3, –2).
2x + y = 4 2(3) + (–2) 4 –2(3) – 3 6 – 2 4 4 4 –2 1 – 3 –2 –2 Example 3 Continued …. CHECK Check Substitute (3, –2) into the system. Into the ORIGINALequations. 2x + y = 4 The solution is (3, –2).
–(–2) + 2 2 4 2 –2 + (3)2 4 –2 + 6 4 4 4 Ex. 4 - Tell whether the ordered pair is a solution of the given system. x + 3y = 4 4 (–2, 2); –x + y = 2 x + 3y = 4 –x + y = 2 Substitute –2 for x and 2 for y. The ordered pair (–2, 2) makes one equation true, but not the other. (-2, 2) is NOT a solution of this system.
3x – y = 13 3(5) – 2 13 0 2 – 2 0 15 – 2 13 0 0 13 13 Ex. 5 - Tell whether the ordered pair is a solution of the given system. (5, 2); 3x – y = 13 Substitute 5 for x and 2 for y. The ordered pair (5, 2) makes both equations true, (5, 2) is the solution of this system.
Ex. 6 – Number of solutions. Use the graph to determine whether each system has no solution, one solution, or infinitely many solutions. a.) y = -x + 5 y = x – 3 b.) y = -x + 5 2x + 2y = -8 c.) 2x + 2y = -8 y = -x - 4 One solution Consistent/independent No solutions Inconsistent Infinitely many solutions Consistent/Dependent
Wren p = 2 n 14 + n p 3 + Jenni = 6 Ex. 7: Problem-Solving Application Wren and Jenni are reading the same book. Wren is on page 14 and reads 2 pages every night. Jenni is on page 6 and reads 3 pages every night. After how many nights will they have read the same number of pages? How many pages will that be?
(8, 30) Nights Example 7 Continued Graph p = 2n + 14 and p = 3n + 6. The lines appear to intersect at (8, 30). So, the number of pages read will be the same at 8 nights with a total of 30 pages.
2(8) + 14 = 16 + 14 = 30 3(8) + 6 = 24 + 6 = 30 Example 7 Continued Check (8, 30) using both equations. After 8 nights, Wren will have read 30 pages: After 8 nights, Jenni will have read 30 pages:
= 3 + 10 c Club A r c = 2 + 15 Club B r Example 8 Video club A charges $10 for membership and $3 per movie rental. Video club B charges $15 for membership and $2 per movie rental. For how many movie rentals will the cost be the same at both video clubs? What is that cost?
Example 8 Continued Graph c = 3r + 10 and c = 2r + 15. The lines appear to intersect at (5, 25). So, the cost will be the same for 5 rentals and the total cost will be $25.
3(5) + 10 = 15 + 10 = 25 2(5) + 15 = 10 + 15 = 25 Example 8 Continued Check (5, 25) using both equations. Number of movie rentals for Club A to reach $25: Number of movie rentals for Club B to reach $25:
Lesson Wrap Up Tell whether the ordered pair is a solution of the given system. Remember you do NOT have to graph the lines to answer these questions. 1. (–3, 1); 2. (2, –4); no yes
Solve and CHECK the system by graphing. 3. y + 2x = 9 (2, 5) y = 4x – 3
