Using a Graph to Solve a System of Linear Equations Flashcards
1
Q
What is a Linear System?
A
Also called a system of simultaneous equations, a set of equations that intersect at least once on a graph.
2
Q
What is a Linear System that only has one solution called?
A
A System of Independent Equations.
3
Q
What is a System of Inconsistent Equations?
A
A system where neither lines will intersect at any point.
4
Q
What is a System of Dependent Equations?
A
A system where a single line is shared by multiple equations.
5
Q
What is the Procedure for solving a pair of Linear Equations on a graph?
A
You graph the equations, find a common point if there is one, and right down an order pair that works for both equations.
