Linear Equation (Slope and Y-Intercept)

Linear equation
(SLOPE AND Y-INTERCEPT)

Problem: Solve the equation of slope intercept, slope of the line is m = 8 and passes through
the point (4, 6).
Solution: The general equation of slope intercept is y = mx + c

First we have to find the y intercept value .Here the given is
Slope m = 8 x = 4, y = 6
Substitute this value into the formula we get
6 = 8*4 + c
6 = 32 + c
Add both sides -32 we get
6-32 = c
c = -26
Substitute the y intercept value in the general equation,
y = 8x-26
Therefore slope intercept equation is y = 8x-26
Linear equation
(SOLVING BY SUBSTITUTION)
Problem: Solve the following system:
x + y = 11
3x - y = 5
Solution: Solve the first equation for y

(you could solve for x - it
doesn't matter).
y = 11 – x
Now, substitute 11 - x for y

in the second equation. This gives
the equation one variable, which
earlier algebra work has taught
you how to do.
3x - (11 - x) = 5
3x - 11 + x = 5
4x = 16
x=4
Now, substitute 4 for x in

either equation and solve for y.
(We use the first equation below.
4 + y = 11
y=7
The solution is the ordered pair,

(4, 7).
System of Inequalities
(GRAPHING IN TWO VARIABLES)
Problem: Graph y < x.
Solution: First graph the equation y = x.

However, the line must be drawn dashed
because the less than sign tells us the
line is not included in the
solution.
Next, test a point that is located above
the line and one that is below the line.
Any point you pick above the line, such
as (0, 2), y is greater than x,
so points above the line are not in-
cluded in the solution. Points below the
line, such as (3, -3) have a y
value that is less than the x
value, so all points below the line are
included in the solution.
Quadratic Equation
(USING QUADRATIC FORMULA)
Problem: Solve 3x2 + 5x = -1 for x.
Formula: -b ± SQRT(b2 - 4ac)
x = -------------------
2a
Solution: First find the standard form of
the equation and determine a, b,
and c.
3x2 + 5x + 1 = 0
a=3
b=5
c=1
Plug the values you found for
a, b, and c into the
quadratic formula.
-5 ± SQRT(52 - 4(3)(1))

Perform any indicated operations.
-5 ± SQRT(25 - 12)
x = ------------------

-5 ± SQRT(13)
x = -------------

The solutions are as follows:
-5 + SQRT(13) -5 - SQRT(13)
x = -------------, -------------

Quadratic Equation
(BY FACTORING)
Problem: Solve 3x2 + x - 2 = 0 for x.
Solution: (3x - 2)(x + 1) = 0
Use the principle of zero products,

which says, if ab = 0, either
a, b, or both must be
equal to zero.
3x - 2 = 0, x + 1 = 0
3x = 2 , x = -1
x = (2/3)
x = -1, (2/3)
Problem: Solve x2 + 5x + 6 = 0.
Solution:
So the first thing I have to do is factor:
x2 + 5x + 6 = (x + 2)(x + 3)
Set this equal to zero:
(x + 2)(x + 3) = 0
Solve each factor:
x + 2 = 0 or x + 3 = 0
x = –2 or x = – 3
The solution to x2 + 5x + 6 = 0 is x = –3, –2

Problem:
Let x and y are the variables. If y varies directly as x and given y = 23 when x = 14,
find i) the equation connecting y and x
ii) the value of y when x = 20
iii) the value of x when y = 12

i) y ∝ x i.e. y = k x where k is a constant

Substitute x = 14 and y = 23 into the equation
23 = 14 k
k = `<< 23/14>>`
The equation is y = `<< 23/14>>` x ----> 1
ii) Substitute x = 20 into the equation 1
y = `<< 23/14>>` 20
y = `<< 460/14>>`
y = `<< 230/7>>`
iii) Substitute y = 12 into the equation 1
12 = `<< 23/14>>` x
x = `<< 168/14>>`
x = `<< 84/7>>`

not know a1. However, we have enough information to find it. We know that when n = 12, the

Reciprocal of given sequence 1, 5, 9…. Is satisfies the arithmetic sequence relation.
According to first step we can say the given sequence is harmonic sequence. So that the
formula to find nth term is,
Tn = [a+(n-1)d]
Here n = 10, a = 1, and d = 4.
T10 = 1 + (10-1)4
T10 = 1 + (9 *4)
T10 = 1 + 36
T10 = 37.
Hence 10th term of harmonic sequence =1/37.

According to first step we can say the given sequence is harmonic sequence. So that the
formula to find nth term is,
Tn = [a+(n-1)d]
Here n = 8, a = 3, and d = 2.
T8 = 3 + (8-1)2
T8 = 3 + (7 *2)
T8 = 3 + 14
T8 = 17.
Hence 8th term of harmonic sequence = 3/17.
