(1,5),(3,7)

 

3y+3x=18

2y-2x=8

 

90 seconds

Definition

3(5)+3(1)=18

15+3=18

18=18

Definition
Term

 

Graph the following inequality.  Name m, b, show check and shade.

 

y>=3x+2

 

3 minutes

Definition

m=3/1, b=2

 

Term

  Graph the two equations to solve for x and y.  State m and b for each and name the point of intersection.  Check the point of intersection in both equations.

 

2x+2y=0

y=x+2

 

3 minutes

Definition

equation 1: m=-1/1, b=0

equation 2: m=1/2, b=2

intersection (-1,1)

check: 2(-1)+2(1)=0

-2+2=0, 0=0

1=-1+2, 1=1

It checks!

Term

Explain in words how you can determine whether the ordered pair (1,2) is a solution of the system of equations below. 

 

2x+y=4

-4x+10y=16

 

90 seconds

Definition

 

You can determine whether the ordered pair (1,2) is a solution of the system of equations by plugging the x and y value in and seeing if the ordered pair checks for both equations.  If it checks for both, it is a solution, if it does not, it is not a solution. 

Term

 

What is the slope of a vertical line?  Why?

 

 

60 seconds

Definition

 

The slope of a vertical line is either no slope or undefined because you cannot define by zero.  Check it on your calculators.

Term

 

What is the slope of a horizontal line?

 

60 seconds

Definition

 

0 or zero

Term

Use the below equations to tell which lines are parallel or perpendicular. 

line 1: y=3x+4
