Two or more straight lines meeting at one point.
3s=2t can also be written as 3y=2x or 3x=2y. Either way, it is linear. To find out if it is linear, simply graph it. If you can draw a completely vertical line through any point of the graph without intersecting more than one point of the graph, then it is linear. This equation (3s=2t), it is linear.
· whether it is linear, quadratic or exponential · whether it has an upper or lower bound · whether it has a minimum or a maximum value · whether it is constant, decreasing or increasing
The equation 2x - 3y = 6 is a linear equation and a linear equation is always has a straight line as a graph
A graph that has 1 parabolla that has a minimum and 1 positive line.
The Feasible Region
parallel
3
It is a straight line.
False, think of each linear equation as the graph of the line. Then the unique solution (one solution) would be the intersection of the two lines.
If the lines intersect, then the intersection point is the solution of the system. If the lines coincide, then there are infinite number of the solutions for the system. If the lines are parallel, there is no solution for the system.
graph the inequality 5x+2y<4
Graphs can be used in the following way to estimate the solution of a system of liner equations. After you graph however many equations you have, the point of intersection will be your solution. However, reading the exact solution on a graph may be tricky, so that's why other methods (substitution and elimination) are preferred.
The set of points the graphed equations have in common. This is usually a single point but the lines can be coincident in which case the solution is a line or they can be parallel in which case there are no solutions to represent.
the solution to a system is where the two lines intersect upon a graph.

One solution
Graph both and where they cross is the answer to both.
