Linear System Project

Students will be able to solve a linear system graphically.

Make up your own linear system or graph one of the following:
y= 3x-4 and y= -3x+2

y= 4x-1 and y= -x+4

y= 3x+4 and y= -3x-4

Explain how you graphed the two linear functions
State the solution
Check your solution algebraically
Linear functions should be graphed on graph paper
Use a ruler
Label the x and y axes and the equations
Label the origin
Make sure your project is neat and mathematically accurate
Include a self evaluation

  2. How do we lable the origin? Put (0,0) for it? When I graphed other equations, I did not lable the origin.


    Thanks.

  4. Just put zero at the origin. The project will be due this week.

    8-1/8-2 Tuesday

  5. You never showed us how to solve a graph algebraically. Should we do that???

  6. You have to check it using algebra, not solve it.

  7. for the two linear equations do I put them on the same graph or different

  8. y= 3x+4 and y= -3x-4 are these supposed to intersect because when i graphed them they have no solution?
