Solving Simultaneous Equations Graphically

 

Students learn how to graphically solve a pair of simultaneous equations.

Later, as learning progresses, they solve equations in the form y = mx + c and ax + by = c.

Differentiated Learning Objectives
  • All students should be able to plot a linear function using two points.
  • Most students should be able to graphically solve a pair of simultaneous equations with integer solutions.
  • Some students should be able to graphically generate and solve a pair of simultaneous equations.
