3-1 Using Graphs and Tables to Solve Linear Systems Objectives Solve systems of equations by using graphs and tables. Classify systems of equations, and determine the number of solutions. Holt Algebra 2 3-1 Using Graphs and Tables to Solve Linear Systems A system of equations is a set of two or more equations containing two or more variables. A linear system is a system of equations containing only linear equations. Recall that a line is an infinite set of points that are solutions to a linear equation. The solution of a system of equations is the set of all points that satisfy each equation. Holt Algebra 2 3-1 Using Graphs and Tables to Solve Linear Systems On the graph of the system of two equations, the solution is the set of points where the lines intersect. A point is a solution to a system of equation if the x- and y-values of the point satisfy both equations. Holt Algebra 2 3-1 Using Graphs and Tables to Solve Linear Systems Example 1A: Verifying Solutions of Linear Systems Use substitution to determine if the given ordered pair is an element of the solution set for the system of equations. (1, 3); x – 3y = –8 3x + 2y = 9 x – 3y = –8 3x + 2y = 9 (1) –3(3) –8 3(1) +2(3) 9 –8 –8 Substitute 1 for x and 3 for y in each equation. 9 9 Because the point is a solution for both equations, it is a solution of the system. Holt Algebra 2 3-1 Using Graphs and Tables to Solve Linear Systems Example 1B: Verifying Solutions of Linear Systems Use substitution to determine if the given ordered pair is an element of the solution set for the system of equations. x + 6 = 4y 1 (–4, ); 2 2x + 8y = 1 x + 6 = 4y (–4) + 6 2 2 2x + 8y = 1 Substitute –4 for x and for y in each equation. 2(–4) + 1 –4 1x Because the point is not a solution for both equations, it is not a solution of the system. Holt Algebra 2 3-1 Using Graphs and Tables to Solve Linear Systems Recall that you can use graphs or tables to find some of the solutions to a linear equation. You can do the same to find solutions to linear systems. Holt Algebra 2 3-1 Using Graphs and Tables to Solve Linear Systems Example 2A: Solving Linear Systems by Using Graphs and Tables Use a graph to solve the system. Check your answer. 2x – 3y = 3 y+2=x Solve each equation for y. y= x–1 y= x – 2 Holt Algebra 2 3-1 Using Graphs and Tables to Solve Linear Systems Example 2A Continued On the graph, the lines appear to intersect at the ordered pair (3, 1) Holt Algebra 2 3-1 Using Graphs and Tables to Solve Linear Systems Example 2B: Solving Linear Systems by Using Graphs and Tables Use a graph to solve the system. Check your answer. x–y=2 2y – 3x = –1 Solve each equation for y. Holt Algebra 2 y=x–2 y= Using Graphs and Tables to Solve Linear Systems 3-1 Example 2B Continued Use your graphing calculator to graph the equations and make a table of values. The lines appear to intersect at (–3, –5). This is the confirmed by the tables of values. The solution to the system is (–3, –5). Check Substitute (–3, –5) in the original equations to verify the solution. x–y = 2 (–3) – (–5) 2 Holt Algebra 2 2y – 3x = –1 2 2 2(–5) – 3(–3) –1 –1 –1 3-1 Using Graphs and Tables to Solve Linear Systems The systems of equations in Example 2 have exactly one solution. However, linear systems may also have infinitely many or no solutions. A consistent system is a set of equations or inequalities that has at least one solution, and an inconsistent system will have no solutions. Holt Algebra 2 3-1 Using Graphs and Tables to Solve Linear Systems You can classify linear systems by comparing the slopes and y-intercepts of the equations. An independent system has equations with different slopes. A dependent system has equations with equal slopes and equal y-intercepts. Holt Algebra 2 3-1 Using Graphs and Tables to Solve Linear Systems Holt Algebra 2 3-1 Using Graphs and Tables to Solve Linear Systems Example 3A: Classifying Linear System Classify the system and determine the number of solutions. x = 2y + 6 3x – 6y = 18 Solve each equation for y. y= x–3 y= x–3 The equations have the same slope and y-intercept and are graphed as the same line. The system is consistent and dependent with infinitely many solutions. Holt Algebra 2 3-1 Using Graphs and Tables to Solve Linear Systems Example 3B: Classifying Linear System Classify the system and determine the number of solutions. 4x + y = 1 y + 1 = –4x y = –4x + 1 Solve each equation for y. y = –4x – 1 The equations have the same slope but different y-intercepts and are graphed as parallel lines. The system is inconsistent and has no solution. Holt Algebra 2 3-1 Using Graphs and Tables to Solve Linear Systems Example 3B Continued Check A graph shows parallel lines. Holt Algebra 2 3-1 Using Graphs and Tables to Solve Linear Systems Example 4: Summer Sports Application City Park Golf Course charges $20 to rent golf clubs plus $55 per hour for golf cart rental. Sea Vista Golf Course charges $35 to rent clubs plus $45 per hour to rent a cart. For what number of hours is the cost of renting clubs and a cart the same for each course? Holt Algebra 2 3-1 Using Graphs and Tables to Solve Linear Systems Example 4 Continued Step 1 Write an equation for the cost of renting clubs and a cart at each golf course. Let x represent the number of hours and y represent the total cost in dollars. City Park Golf Course: y = 55x + 20 Sea Vista Golf Course: y = 45x + 35 Because the slopes are different, the system is independent and has exactly one solution. Holt Algebra 2 3-1 Using Graphs and Tables to Solve Linear Systems Example 4 Continued Step 2 Solve the system by using a calculator. You can use a table to check your answer. y = 55x + 20 When x = , the yvalues are both 102.5. The cost of renting clubs and renting a cart for hours is $102.50 at either company. So the cost is the same at each golf course for hours. Holt Algebra 2 x 0 y 20 y = 45x + 35 x 0 57.5 47.5 1 75 1 120 80 102.5 102.5 2 y 35 2 125
