Open Middle: Systems of Linear Equations (3)
Your task:
Enter any integer value(s) ranging from -9 to 9 in the boxes below. The LARGE POINT that will appear is moveable. Try to create a setup that works!
Are there any digits you avoided using? If so, which one(s)? And why did you avoid using them?
Create another system of linear equations with its solution that is entirely different form the setup you built above.
Is P(x, y) a Solution?
Drag the point to various positions (both ON and OFF the line). Pay attention to what you see here. Then, answer the questions that follow.
If a point [math]\left(x,y\right)[/math] LIES on a line with a given equation, what can we conclude?
If a point [math]\left(x,y\right)[/math] DOES NOT LIE on a line with a given equation, what can we conclude?
If we wanted to see whether [math]\left(4,-3\right)[/math] was a solution to the equation [math]3x-5y=27[/math], what would we need to do first?
Is [math]\left(4,-3\right)[/math] a solution to the equation [math]3x-5y=27[/math]?
If we wanted to see whether [math]\left(-3,4\right)[/math] was a solution to the equation [math]3x-5y=-30[/math], what would we need to do first?
Is [math]\left(-3,4\right)[/math] a solution to the equation [math]3x-5y=-30[/math]?
