Section 7.1 Lesson Opener Graph the expression on a number line. x > –2 Lesson Opener Graph the expression on a number line. |x| = 4 Lesson Opener Graph the following equations on the same coordinate plane. y x+y=5 x – 3y = –3 x Lesson Opener Identify the point of intersection of the graphs. y x+y=5 x – 3y = –3
(3, 2) x Definition A system of linear equations is made up of two or more linear equations. Any ordered pair that makes all of the equations true is a solution to the system of equations. Example 1
x–y=9 2x + y = 9 Is (11, 2) a solution to the system? 11 – 2 = 9 2(11) + 2 = 9 True False (11, 2) is not a solution. Example 1
x–y=9 2x + y = 9 Is (6, –3) a solution to the system? 6 – (–3) = 9 2(6) + (–3) = 9 True True (6, –3) is a solution. In fact, it is the only solution. Solving a System by Graphing 1. Graph both equations on the same coordinate plane. 2. Identify the solution, the coordinates of the point of intersection. Solving a System by Graphing 3. Check the solution by substituting it into each equation. Example 2
Solve the system by graphing.
y = –x – 2 y=x–4 m = –1 m=1 y-int.: (0, –2) y-int.: (0, –4) Example 2 y y = –x – 2 y=x–4 Solution: x (1, –3) (1, –3) Example 3
Solve the system by graphing.
x – y = –5 3x + y = –7 y=x+5 y = –3x – 7 m=1 m = –3 y-int.: (0, 5) y-int.: (0, –7) Example 3 y x – y = –5 (–3, 2) 3x + y = –7 x Solution: (–3, 2) Solving a System by Graphing Sometimes a system of equations contains equations that name parallel lines. Since parallel lines have no points in common, such a system of equations has no solution. Solving a System by Graphing Sometimes a system of equations contains graphs that are the same line. These are said to coincide. The solution is the set of all the points on the line. Example 4a Both equations have the same slopes and y-intercepts. Their graphs coincide. Solution: y = –x + 3 Example 4b The equations have the same slope but different y-intercepts. Their graphs are parallel. Solution: Ø Possible Solutions to a System Intersecting Lines
