  2. Section 1.2 Slide 2 Definition of Solution, Satisfy, and Solution Set Definition of Solution, Satisfy, and Solution Set Consider the equation . Let’s find y when So, when , which cab be represented by the ordered pair

  3. Section 1.2 Slide 3 Definition of Solution, Satisfy, and Solution Set Definition of Solution, Satisfy, and Solution Set Definition For an ordered pair , we write the value of the independent variable in the first (left) position and the value of the dependent variable in the second (right) position. The numbers a and b are called coordinates. For the x-coordinate is 3 and the y-coordinate is 1.

  4. Section 1.2 Slide 4 Definition of Solution, Satisfy, and Solution Set Definition of Solution, Satisfy, and Solution Set The equation becomes a true statement when we substitute 3 for x-coordinate and 1 for y-coordinate.

  5. Section 1.2 Slide 5 Definition of Solution, Satisfy, and Solution Set Definition of Solution, Satisfy, and Solution Set Definition An ordered pair is a solution of an equation in terms of x and y if the equation becomes a true statement when a is substituted for x and b is substituted for y. We say satisfies the equation. The solution set of the equation is the set of all solution of the equation.

  6. Section 1.2 Slide 6 Graphing an Equation Definition of Solution, Satisfy, and Solution Set Example Find five solutions to the equation and plot them in the coordinate system (on the right).

  7. Section 1.2 Slide 7 Graphing an Equation Definition of Solution, Satisfy, and Solution Set Solution We begin be arbitrarily choosing the values 0, 1, and 2 to substitute for x: The ordered pairs and are also solutions.

  9. Section 1.2 Slide 9 Graphing an Equation Definition of Solution, Satisfy, and Solution Set Every point on the line is a solution to the equation

  10. Section 1.2 Slide 10 Graphing an Equation Definition of Solution, Satisfy, and Solution Set The point lies on the line Should satisfy the equations Whereas is not on the line Thus should not satisfy the equation

  11. Section 1.2 Slide 11 Graphing an Equation Definition of Solution, Satisfy, and Solution Set The is not a solution to the equation

  12. Section 1.2 Slide 12 Graphing an Equation Definition of Solution, Satisfy, and Solution Set Calculator Use ZDecimal on a graphing calculator. To enter press (–) 2 X,T,ϴ,n + 1. The key – is used for subtraction, and the key . (–) is used for negative numbers as well as taking the opposite.

  13. Section 1.2 Slide 13 Definition: Graph Definition of Solution, Satisfy, and Solution Set Definition The graph of an equation in two variables is the set of points that correspond to all solutions of the equation. In the last example we found that the equation . is a line. Notice that the equation . is of the form (where and ).

  26. Section 1.2 Slide 26 Property Finding Intercepts of a Graph Sometimes we find intercepts to graph a line. x-intercept is on the y-axis, so y = 0 y-intercepts in on the x-axis, so x = 0 Directions • For an equation containing the variables x and y • x-intercept: Substitute y = 0 and solve for x • y-intercept: Substitute x = 0 and solve for y

  27. Section 1.2 Slide 27 Using Intercepts to Sketch a Graph Finding Intercepts of a Graph Example Use intercepts to sketch a graph of Solution x-intercept: Set y = 0.
