Interpret information from a line graph. Plot line equations on a graph. 3. Find the coordinates were 2 lines intersect ( meet) www.mathsrevision.com 22-Feb-19 Created by Mr. Lafferty Maths Department

Created by Mr. Lafferty Maths Department Q. Write down the coordinates where they meet. (1,3) 22-Feb-19 Created by Mr. Lafferty Maths Department

Created by Mr. Lafferty Maths Department Simultaneous Equations S3 Credit Straight Lines Learning Intention Success Criteria To use a quicker method (two points) for solving graphical methods. Draw line graphs using two points. Find the coordinates where 2 lines intersect ( meet) www.mathsrevision.com 22-Feb-19 Created by Mr. Lafferty Maths Department

Created by Mr. Lafferty Maths Department There is a quick way of sketching a straight line. We need only find two points and then draw a line through them. Normally the easier points to find are x = 0 and y = 0 www.mathsrevision.com 22-Feb-19 Created by Mr. Lafferty Maths Department

Created by Mr. Lafferty Maths Department Example : Solve graphically x - 2y = 4 and x + 2y = -2 First find x = 0 and y = 0 for line x – 2y = 4 x = 0 0 – 2y = 4 y = -2 (0,-2) y = 0 x – 2 x 0 = 4 x = 4 (4,0) www.mathsrevision.com Next find x = 0 and y = 0 for line x + 2y = -2 x = 0 0 + 2y = -2 y = -1 (0,-1) y = 0 x + 2 x 0 = -2 x = -2 (-2,0) 22-Feb-19 Created by Mr. Lafferty Maths Department

x - 2y = 4 x + 2y = -2 Solution (1, -1.5) Check ! x – 2y 1 – 2x(-1.5) ( 0, -2) (4, 0) x + 2y = -2 ( 0, -1) (-2, 0) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 -1 x -2 -3 -4 -5 -6 -7 -8 -9 -10 Solution (1, -1.5) Check ! x – 2y 1 – 2x(-1.5) = 1 + 3 = 4 Check ! x + 2y 1 + 2x(-1.5) = 1 - 3 = -2

Key points for quick method for graphical solution 1. Find two points that lie on each of the two lines. Normally easy to find x = 0 and y =0 coordinates for both lines Plot the two coordinates for each line and join them up. www.mathsrevision.com Extend each line if necessary so they cross over. Read off solution where lines meet and check that it satisfies both equations. 22-Feb-19 Created by Mr. Lafferty Maths Department
