4. Explanation A French mathematician, Rene Descartes, developed a system for graphing ordered pairs on a grid. This system is called the Cartesian Co-ordinate System. In this system, ordered pairs are graphed on a grid made up of two perpendicular number lines. The lines meet at a point called the origin. The horizontal number line is called the x-axis. The vertical number line is called the y-axis. The x- and y-axes divide the plane into 4 quadrants. 4

5. Explanation (con’t) Read along the x-axis to identify the x-value. This is called the x-coordinate. Read along the y-axis to identify the y-value. This is called the y-coordinate. For point A, the x-coordinate is –4 and the y- coordinate is 3. The ordered pair is (-4, 3) (See next page for graph). 5

11. Example 3 xy 0 1 2 3 4 Solution: Choose any values of x and work out the value of y for each that you chose. Sometimes, it helps to isolate y first. i.e. y=6 – 2x Complete the table of values if 2x +y =6 and graph 11

14. Example 4-Application Jackie has decided to sell stained glass Canadian flags for Canada Day. It costs $300 to start her glass business (glass cutters, grinder…) and she determines that each flag will cost $10 to make. She plans to sell the flag for $15 each. 14

15. Example 4 (con’t) Represent this information on the grid after filling in the table of values provided on the next slide. Find the slope of each line and explain what the slope means in words. 15

19. Example 4 (con’t) Find the equation of the line for: i)the Cost line; and ii)ii) the revenue line Graph of R: starts at (0,0). Graph of C: starts at (0,300) Break-even at 60 flags, $900 19

20. Example 4 Solution (con’t) The point of intersection is the break-even point, when cost of flags=revenue from flags. To find the equation (formula) for a line, this is found by using y=mx+b, where m is the slope, and b is the y- intercept (where the graph crosses the y-axis). 20

21. Fill in the blanks Summary for finding the equation of a line: Formula for slope: m= To find the y-intercept (b), let ____________ To find the x-intercept, let ______________ Equation of a line: ______________ 21

22. Fill in the blanks Summary for finding the equation of a line: Formula for slope: m= To find the y-intercept (b), let x=0 and find y value To find the x-intercept, let y=0 and find x value Equation of a line: y=mx +b 22

23. Example 5 Find the equation of a line which contains the two points A(1,5) and B(-2,3). Find also the x and y intercept of the line (ie where does the line intersect the coordinate axes?) 23

24. Example 5 (con’t) 24

25. Example 5 (con’t) 25

26. Example 6 It is known that the profit for my company follows a linear model. My company sells an electric car, called the Gasnomore. When we sell 100 cars in a month, we lose $200,000. When we sell 2,000 cars, I make $180,000. Find: a)How much profit will we make on each car that we sell? b)What are my fixed monthly costs? c)How many cars do we need to sell to break even? 26

27. Example 6 (con’t) Solution: Since this is a linear model, the slope is constant. Also, the slope= profit/car (look at units) x number of cars y profit 100-$200,000 2,000$180,000 27

28. Example 6 (con’t) So, again we are given two points. We follow the same steps. (You can write the slope as a decimal or a fraction) 28

29. Example 6 (con’t) 29

30. Example 6 (cont.) a)How much profit will we make on each car that we sell? b)What are my fixed monthly costs? c)How many cars do we need to sell to break even? 30

31. Answers a)As we know the slope is $200/car so that is the answer to how much we make per car. b) My fixed monthly costs are $200,000 so to make a profit we need to recoup this amount. c) This is finding the x intercept as we are interested in breaking even which on a profit graph is the x intercept. The algebra is on the next slide. 31

33. Example 7 State the equations of the three lines (A,B,C) shown below 33

34. Example 7 (con’t) A: Answer: y=2 (note that a horizontal line has slope 0, so it is actually y=0x+2) B: Solution: y=mx+ 4 (y intercept=4) C: Solution: 34

35. Example 8 a)Find the slope of the line passing through A(1, -3) and B (-1, 5) Answer: b) Find the equation of the line passing through A (1, -3) and B( -1, 5) 35

36. Example 8 (con’t) b) Solution: 36

37. Example 8 (con’t) c) Find the y-intercept and x-intercept of this line. 37

38. Example 9 A soccer team to raise money for an upcoming trip. The cost (expenses) and the revenue (total sales, or income) of selling the candy bars are represented on the graph below. (note: on the cost line, assume that (0,25) is a point, as is (300,125)) 38

How much of this revenue would be profit? 40

41. Example 9 (con’t) a)How many candy bars must the team sell to break even? Answer: 60 b)At what price is the team selling each chocolate bar? Answer: about 67 cents/bar or perhaps 3 bars for $2 is better as it is exact. c)Determine an equation to represent the cost to the team of this fund raising project. Answer: d)How many candy bars must the band sell for the revenue to be $200. How much of this revenue would be profit? Answer: Looking at the graph, 300 bars. 41
