Math 10 Week #17

This week we learnt how to solve a graphing equation using elimination. To start, you’ll get 2 equations for example: 4x-3y=2 and -4x-y=6. Next, you have to see if there are any 0 pairs. If there is, then the next step is to add the two equations together. ([4x-3y=2]+[-4x-y=6]= [-4b=8]) because the 4x and the -4x cancel each other out. Now, you want to get the y by itself. To…

This week we leant how to write in general form. The formula for general form is Ax+By+C=0. You can find general form by rearranging a formula written in slope y-intercept form which is written as y=mx+b.  If you are given the equation y=3x+12, you can rearrange it so that it becomes general form. There are two rules for general form. 1. The A in the equation cannot be a negative number.…
