Webercise: iPAD lesson

Step 1. Review graphing linear equations using this resource on Wyzant. Take notes as needed.

Step 2. Practice finding the slopes of parallel and perpendicular lines using the IXL interactive.
Complete at least five problems.

Step 3. Complete this problem. An equation of a line is = 2 5. Find a line that is parallel to
this line. Is there a solution to this system of two equations? Why or why not?

Step 4. Complete this problem. An equation of a line is = 2 5. Find a line that is
perpendicular to this line. Is there a solution to this system of two equations? Why or why not? If
there is a solution, find it using algebraic methods.

Step 5. Open Desmos graphing calculator in one browser.

Step 6. Graph the following system of equations using Desmos. By looking at the graph, what is
the point of intersection? Solve the system algebraically by hand to check your answer.

10 5 = 3
{
8 4 = 1

Step 7. Graph the following system of equations using Desmos. Is (5, 6) a solution? If not, find
the solution using substitution or elimination.

3
2 = 5
{ 2

4 2 = 5

Step 8. It is given that 8 + 3 = 6 is one equation in a system and that there are infinitely
many solutions to the system. Can you find a potential second equation? Use Desmos to check
your answer.

Step 9. Graph the first equation of the system using Desmos. It is given that (3, 2) is the solution
to the system. Can you find the equation of the second line?

Here is an example of using the graphing calculator on Desmos as well as solving algebraically
by hand for the same system. Note that the point of intersection on the graph matches the ordered
pair found using elimination. Problems 6 through 9 should each contain this amount of work.
