Overview

Notice that a linear equation in two variables has degree 1 in each variable, and its graph is a straight line. Count the key tools: general form, graphing, simultaneous equations, determinant method, and transforming certain non-linear equations into linear form. Keep the main idea in mind: ordered

Key Concepts

An equation which contains two variables

An equation which contains two variables and the degree of each term containing variable is one, is called a linear equation in two variables. The gen

The graph of a linear equation

The graph of a linear equation in two variables is a straight line. Any ordered pair that satisfies the equation represents a point on that line.

When two linear equations in two

When two linear equations in two variables are considered at the same time, they are called simultaneous equations.

Draw the graphs of both equations

Draw the graphs of both equations on the same coordinate plane and find their point of intersection. The coordinates of the intersection give the solu

A determinant represents a number

A determinant represents a number which is ad - bc for the 2 × 2 determinant | a b; c d |. Determinants are usually written with capital letters, and
