2 Solution of Equations by the Graphical Method

*Solving an equation by finding the point(s) of intersection of two graphsTo solve an equation by
graphical method,follow the steps below :
Determine the two graphs to be drawn.

Draw the two graphs on the same axes.

Determine the solution by reading off the values of x-coordinate of the point of intersection of
the two graphs.

13.3 Region Representing Linear Inequalities in Two Variables

*Determining whether a given point satisfies an equation or an inequality
To determine whether a given point (x. y) satisfies an equation or an inequality, substitute the
values of x and y into the equation or inequality and then compare the values of both sides of the
equation or inequality.
*Position of a given point relative to the graph y = ax + b
All the points in the region above region above the graph y = ax + b satisfy the inequality y >
ax + b
All the points in the region below the graph y = ax + b satisfy the inequality y < ax + b.

*Determining the region satisfying two or more simultaneous linear inequalitiesThe region
satisfying two or more simultaneous linear inequalities is the common region satisfying all the inequalities.

*Forming a matrix
A matrix is a rectangular array of rows and columns of numbers,enclosed in brackets.
A row is a horizontal arrangement of the numbers in a matrix.
A column is a vertical arrangement of the numbers in a matrix.
