Lesson Details
Key learning points
- More than one linear graph can be drawn on the same set of axes.
- A pair of coordinates which lay on the line satisfy the equation of the line.
- The pair of coordinates for the point of intersection satisfy both equations.
- Graphical software can be used to show this visually.
Common misconception
There is only one way to solve linear equations; by manipulation and isolating the variable(s).
When we plot more than one linear equation on a graph we can use the intersection to find the solution.
Keywords
Linear - The relationship between two variables is linear if, when plotted on a pair of axes, a straight line is formed.
