STARK 1B 4.2 Practice: Systems from a Graph

Front

What is a system of linear equations?

Back

A system of linear equations is a set of two or more linear equations with the same variables. The solution is the point(s) where the equations intersect on a graph.

What does the slope of a line represent in a linear equation?

Back

The slope of a line represents the rate of change of the dependent variable (y) with respect to the independent variable (x). It indicates how steep the line is.

How do you determine the y-intercept from a linear equation in slope-intercept form?

Back

In the slope-intercept form of a linear equation, y = mx + b, the y-intercept is the value of b, which is the point where the line crosses the y-axis.

What is the slope-intercept form of a linear equation?

Back

The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

How can you graph a linear equation?

Back

To graph a linear equation, you can find two points that satisfy the equation and plot them on a coordinate plane, then draw a line through those points.

Front

What does it mean for two lines to be parallel?

Back

Two lines are parallel if they have the same slope but different y-intercepts, meaning they will never intersect.

Front

What does it mean for two lines to be perpendicular?

Back

Two lines are perpendicular if the product of their slopes is -1, meaning they intersect at a right angle.

How can you find the solution to a system of linear equations graphically?

Back

The solution to a system of linear equations can be found by graphing both equations and identifying the point where they intersect.

What is the significance of the intersection point in a system of linear equations?

Back

The intersection point represents the solution to the system, indicating the values of the variables that satisfy all equations in the system.

What is a linear equation?

Back

A linear equation is an equation that forms a straight line when graphed, typically in the form of y = mx + b.
