Word Problem!Oh No! Your car has broken down! You don't like

walking so you call the local garage to find out what they will charge you to fix it. The mechanic tells you that they charge a flat fee of $100 to use the diagnostic computer to find the trouble plus $30 per hour for labor.

 a) Write a linear equation that will predict the cost of

repairing your car.    b) Use the equation to find out how much you will have

to pay if the repairs take 6 hours.

What does solving a system of equations mean?

The solution or solutions are where the lines intersect.

There are three types.

Parallel lines

Intersecting lines

Same (Coincident) lines

You try:

How do we graph lines?

slope-intercept form. Standard Form

Example 1 Where do these lines intersect?

1. Write each equation in slope-intercept form or find the x and y intercepts.

2. Graph both lines3. Check your solution

Let’s Graph!: Example 2Where do these lines intersect?

x + y = 2x + y = 6

Example 3: Where do these lines intersect?

Example 4:Where do these lines intersect?

x – 2y = 0y = 2x - 3
