    Linear Equations

    1
    Definition
     The general form of a linear equation is:
    Ax + By = C
    Examples:
     find A, B & C
    (1) x + 4y = 6
     A= 1 B= 4 C= 6
    3 −3
    (2) y= −1
    2x −4 1 2 x+y= 4

    2
    −3
     Then A = 1
    2, B= 1 , C=
    4
     How to Graph a linear equation:
     Intercept Method:
     To graph a linear equation you need to substitute (X) by zero
    to get (Y) & substitute (Y) by zero to get (X), to get two
    points.

    3
     Examples: Graph: (1) y= x – 4
     Step1: let x = 0 so the point is (0, -4)
    Y= 0 – 4 ∴y=–4
     Let y = 0  0 = x – 4 ∴ x = 4
    So the point is (4, 0)

    4
     Step2:

    5
     (2) y = –2 x + 6

    6
     Step1: let x= 0 (0, 6)
    Let y= 0 (3, 0)
     Step2:

    7
     (3) y= 3x

    8
     Step1: let x= 0 (0, 0)
    Let y= 0 (0, 0)
     Step2:

    9
     (4) y= 4
     Step1: there is no (x) here, so we have only
    one point which is (0, 4) and it will
    be horizontal line.
     Step2:

    10
     (5) x = 5

    11
     Step1: there is no (y) here, so we have only
    one point which is (5, 0) and it will
    be vertical line.
     Step2:

    12
    `
     How to get the slope and the equation:
     Rules:

    y −y
    m= x2 − x1  to get the slope from two points.
    2 1
    y – y1 = m (x – x1)  to get the equation.

    13
    Example:
     Find the equation of a line passing through:
    a) (0, 4) , (2, 2)
    b) (2, 6) , (1, 4)

    14
     Solution:
    y2 − y1
    (a) Step1: find m= x − x
    2 1
    2−4 −2
    m= 2−0
    = 2
    = – 1
     Step2: Substitute in y – y1 = m(x – x1)
    y – 4 = -1 (x – 0)
    y–4=–x
    ∴y = – x + 4

    15
    y2 − y1
     (b) Step1: find m=
    x2 − x1
    4−6 −2
    M= 1−2
    = −1 =2
    Step2: substitute in the equation:
    y – y1 = m (x – x1)
    y – 6 = 2 (x – 2)
    y–6=2x–4
    ∴y = 2 x + 2

    16
     Parallel and per perpendicular lines:
    * Parallel lines  Two lines are parallel if and only if they
    have the same slope or are both vertical m1=
    m2
    • perpendicular lines  Two lines with slopes m1 and m2
    are perpendicular to each other if and only if
    −1
    m2 =
    m1

    17
     Examples:
    * Show that the following two lines are parallel:
    (1) Line (1) 3x–y=0
    Line (2) 2y=6x–4

    (2) Line (1) 3y – x = 10


    Line (2) 6y = 2x – 4

    18
     Solution:
    (1) Step1: convert the equations to this form
    y = mx + b
    Line (1) -y = -3x + 0 y = 3x + 0
    Line (2) y = 3x – 2
    Step2: get m1, and m2
    from the first equation from the second
    equation
    m1= 3 m2= 3
    ∵ m1 = m2
    ∴ The two lines are parallel.

    19
    (2) Step1: convert the equations to this form
    Y= mx + b
    1 10
    Line (1) 3y= x + 10  y= x+
    3 3
    2 4 1 2
    Line (2) y= 6 x –6  y= 3 x – 3
    Step2: get m1 and m2
    1 1
    M1= m2=
    3 3
    ∵ m1 = m2
    ∴ The two lines are parallel.

    20
     Perpendicular:
    Example: Show that the following two lines are perpendicular.
    Line (1) y – 3x = 5
    Line (2) 3y + x = 7
    Solution:
    Step1:-
    Line (1) y= 3x + 5
    −1 7
    Line (2) y= x–
    3 3
    Step2:-
    −1
    m1 = 3 m2 = 3
    −1
    ∵ m2=
    m1
    ∴ The two lines are perpendicular.
