Systems of Linear Equations Exploration

In this worksheet you will investigate the types of solutions for linear systems. Move the sliders to change the slope and y-intercepts of lines 1 & 2.
1) Move the sliders till you see the two lines intersect:
a) What do you notice about the equations? [br]b) What do you notice about the graphs of the lines?
2) Move the slider till the lines do not intersect and are parallel:
a) What do you notice about the equations? [br]b) What do you notice about the graphs of the lines?
3) Move the slider till you see one line.
a) What do you notice about the equations? [br]b) What do you notice about the graphs of the lines?
