1. A system of linear equations is a group of equations that are considered at the same time. The solution of a system of linear equations is the set of ordered pairs that make all equations in the system true.

2. Solve the system of equations by graphing. x – y = 5 x + 2y = -4 x – y = 5 5 – 0 =5 (5, 0) 0 –(-5) = 5 (0, -5) x + 2y = -4 0 + 2(-2) = -4 (0, -2) -4 + 2(0) = -4 (-4, 0) The solution is consistent and independent The solution appears to be (2, -3) Example 1-1a

3. Check the solution x – y = 5 x + 2y = -4 x – y = 5 2 – -3 =5 2 + 3 = 5 5 = 5 x + 2y = -4 2 + 2(-3) = -4 2 – 6 = -4 -4 = -4 Example 1-1a

4. Solve the system of equations by graphing. y = 2x – 3 y = -2x + 5 The solution appears to be (2, 1) y = 2x – 3 1 = 2(2) – 3 1 = 4 – 3 1 = 1 y = -2x + 5 1 = -2(2) + 5 1 = -4 + 5 1 = 1 The solution is consistent and independent Example 1-1a

5. Solve the system of equations by graphing. 0 – 2(0) = 0 (0, 0) 2 – 2(1) = 0 (2, 1) 3 + 3 = 6 (3, 3) 1 + 5 = 6 (1, 5) The solution is consistent and independent The solution appears to be (4, 2) Example 1-1a

6. Original equations Replace x with 4and y with 2. Simplify. Check Substitute the coordinates into each equation. Answer: The solution of the system is (4, 2). Example 1-1a

7. Graph the system of equations and describe it as consistent and independent, consistent and dependent, or inconsistent. Write the equations in slope-intercept form. Parallel lines No solution The system is inconsistent. Example 1-5a

8. Graph the system of equations and describe it as consistent and independent, consistent and dependent, or inconsistent. Write the equations in slope-intercept form. Since the equations are equivalent, their graphs are the same line. The solution is consistent and dependent. Example 1-4a

9. Describe the solution to the system. {(x, y) | } Example 1-4a

10. Let Fund-raisingA service club is selling copies of their holiday cookbook to raise funds for a project. The printer’s set-up charge is $200, and each book costs $2 to print. The cookbooks will sell for $6 each. How many cookbooks must the members sell before they make a profit? What is the independent variable? Cookbooks What is the dependent variable? Dollars Example 1-2a

11. price per book number of books. is times $ of income Let $ to produce is cost per book plus set-up charge. Fund-raisingA service club is selling copies of their holiday cookbook to raise funds for a project. The printer’s set-up charge is $200, and each book costs $2 to print. The cookbooks will sell for $6 each. How many cookbooks must the members sell before they make a profit? y = 2x + 200 y = 6 x Example 1-2a

12. Solve the system: y = 2x + 200 y = 6x The graphsintersect at (50, 300). This is the break-evenpoint. If the groupsells less than 50 books, they will lose money.If the groupsellsmore than 50 books, they will make aprofit. Example 1-2a
