Solve by graphing indicate wheather each system is independe
Solve by graphing, indicate wheather each system is independent, dependent, or inconsistent.
1. y = 2x - 1
x + y = 2
2. y = 3x - 4
y = -2x + 1
3. x + 2y = 4
y = -1/2x + 2
Solution
1) y = 2x - 1
x+y = 2
plugging y = 2x-1 into equation 2
x + 2x -1 = 2
3x = 3
x = 1
y = 1
system is consistent
2. y = 3x-4
y = -2x + 1
plugging y = 3x -4 into equation 2
3x-4 = -2x + 1
5x = 5
x = 1
y = -1
system is consistent
3. x+ 2y = 4
y = -1/2 x + 2
plugging y = -1/2x + 2 into equation 1
x + 2 ( -1/2 x + 2) = 4
x -x + 4 = 4
0 = 0
system is consistent and dependent
