73 SLO Graphs and simultaneous equations 73 of 5 Solve simultaneous equations graphically

74 74 of 5 Simultaneous Equations A single equation with unknowns is impossible to solve i.e. x + y = 18 (there are many possible solutions) Simultaneous equations are equations with the same value for both letters e.g. x + y = 7 x y = 3 As we know x and y have the same value in both equations it is possible to solve. See if you can find the answer. x = 5 and y = One way to solve harder simultaneous equations is by using algebra, but it is far easier to use graphs.

75 75 of 5 Continued on next slide Simultaneous Equations There is one pair of values that solves both these equations: x + y = 3 y x = 1 We can find the pair of values by drawing the lines x + y = 3 and y x = 1 on the same graph. 3 y y x = 1 The point where the two lines intersect gives us the solution to both equations. 0 3 x x + y = 3 This is the point (1, ). At this point x = 1 and y =.

76 76 of 5 Continuation from previous slide The values of x and y that solve both equations are x = 1 and y =, as we found by drawing graphs. We can check this solution by substituting these values into the original equations. x + y = 3 y x = = 3 1 = 1 Both the equations work so the solution is correct.

97 97 of 5 Continued on next slide Example 1: Plotting real life Graph When we plot a real life graph we usually start with a table of values or an equation. For example, a Quad bike hire company charges $30 to hire a car and then $5 for each day that the bike is hired. This would give us the following table of values (fill in the numbers): Number of days, d Cost in $, c The cost of the bike hire depends on the number of days. The number of days must therefore go in the top row.

98 Cost ($) Plotting real life Graph example Use the table of values to plot the points on the graph. Number of days, d Cost in $, c of 5 0 Cost of bike hire Number of days Is it appropriate to join the points together? Yes: if you could hire the bike part days. NO: if you could only hire for full days. What does the gradient show? Gradient = Cost per day What does the y-intercept show? Intercept = standing charge

114 114 of 5 The examination papers from previous years appear to concentrate on 3 main aspects: Writing an equation given a linear graph. In application questions understanding the relationship between the gradient/intercept of the graph and the equation i.e. if a taxi firm charges more per km, how will the affect the graph or if their call out fee is higher but their rate per km is the same, how will this affect the graph. This understanding can also be related to understanding the link between a matchstick problem and the resulting linear equation. Step graphs
