Origin (0, 0)
Definitions: Rectangular coordinate system
The horizontal number line is the x-axis.
The vertical number line is the y-axis. The point of intersection of these axes is
their zero points, called the origin.

Definitions
The axes divide the plane into four quarters, called quadrants.
Each point in the rectangular coordinate system corresponds to an ordered pair of real numbers, (x, y).
H.Melikian/1100/04 4
Example
The first number in each pair, called the x-coordinate, denotes the distance and direction from the origin along the x-axis.
The second number in each pair, called the y-coordinate, denotes the distance and direction from the origin along the y-axis or along a line parallel to the y-axis.
Plot the point (3,2).Start at the origin and move 3 units to the right.From that point, move 2 units up.Now plot your point.

Graphs of equations
A relationship between two quantities can be expressed as an equation in two variables, such as
y = 2 + x2
A solution of an equation in two variables, x and y, is an ordered pair of real numbers with following property: when the x-coordinate is substituted for x and y-coordinate is substituted for y in the equation, we obtain a true statement.
The graph of an equation in two variables is the set of all points whose coordinates satisfy the equation. One method for graphing such equations is the point-plotting method.

Text Example
Sketch the graph of y = x2 – 4.
Let x = 3, then y = x2 – 4 = 9 – 4 = 5. The ordered pair (3, 5) is a solution to the
equation y = x2 – 4. We also say that (3, 5) satisfies the
equation.
H.Melikian/1100/04 8
(3, 5)y = 32 – 4 = 9 – 4 = 53
(2, 0)y = 22 – 4 = 4 – 4 = 02
(1, -3)y = 12 – 4 = 1 – 4 = -31
(0, -4)y = (0)2 – 4 = 0 – 4 = -40
(-1, -3)y = (-1)2 – 4 = 1 – 4 = -3-1
(-2, 0)y = (-2)2 – 4 = 4 – 4 = 0-2
(-3, 5)y = (-3)2 – 4 = 9 – 4 = 5-3
Ordered Pair (x, y)y = x2 – 4x
Text Example Cont.

Intercepts
An x-intercept of a graph is the x-coordinate of a point where the graph intersects the x-axis.
The y-coordinate corresponding to an x-intercept is always zero.
A y-intercept of an graph is the y-coordinate of a point where the graph intersects the y-axis.
The x-coordinate corresponding to an y-intercept is always zero
H.Melikian/1100/04 11
Example
Graph 4y + 5x = 20.Substitute zero for x:
4y = 20 or y = 5.Hence, the y-intercept is (0,5).Substitute zero for the y:
5x = 20 or x = 4.Hence, the x-intercept is (4,0).

Linear Equations
H.Melikian/1100/04 14
Definition of a Linear Equation
• A linear equation in one variable x is an equation that can be written in the form
• ax + b = 0
• where a and b are real numbers and a = 0.
H.Melikian/1100/04 15
An equation can be transformed into an equivalent equation by one or more of the following operations.
Example1. Simplify an expression by removing grouping symbols and combining like terms.
3(x - 6) = 6x - x3x - 18 = 5x
-18 = 2x-9 = x
Divide both sides of the equation by 2.
3. Multiply (or divide) on both sides of the equation by the same nonzero quantity.
Subtract 3x from both sides of the equation.
3x - 18 = 5x3x - 18 - 3x = 5x - 3x-18 = 2x
2. Add (or subtract) the same real number or variable expression on both sides of the equation.
-9 = xx = -9
4. Interchange the two sides of the equation.

Solving a Linear Equation
• Simplify the algebraic expression on each side.
• Collect all the variable terms on one side and all the constant terms on the other side.
• Isolate the variable and solve.• Check the proposed solution in the
original equation.

Solve the equation: 2(x - 3) - 17 = 13 - 3(x + 2).
Solution
Step 1 Simplify the algebraic expression on each side.
2(x - 3) – 17 = 13 – 3(x + 2) This is the given equation.
2x – 6 – 17 = 13 – 3x – 6 Use the distributive property.
2x – 23 = - 3x + 7 Combine like terms.
Text Example
H.Melikian/1100/04 18
Solve the equation: 2(x - 3) - 17 = 13 - 3(x + 2).
Solution
Step 2 Collect variable terms on one side and constant terms on the other side. We will collect variable terms on the left by adding 3x to both sides. We will collect the numbers on the right by adding 23 to both sides.
2x – 23 + 3x = - 3x + 7 + 3x Add 3x to both sides.
5x – 23 = 7 Simplify.
5x – 23 + 23 = 7 + 23 Add 23 to both sides.
5x = 30 Simplify.

Step 3 Isolate the variable and solve. We isolate the variable by dividing both sides by 5.
5x = 305x/5 = 30/5 Divide both sides by 5
x = 6 Simplify.

• Identity:An equation that is true for all real numbers.
• Conditional: An equation that is true for at least one real number.
• Inconsistent: An equation that is not true for any real number.

Determine whether the equation 3(x - 1) = 3x + 5 is an identity, a conditional equation, or an inconsistent equation.
Solution To find out, solve the equation.
3(x – 1) = 3x + 5
3x – 3 = 3x + 5
-3 = 5
This equation is inconsistent.

Text Example
Use the formula E = 0.177t + 71.35 to determine the year of birth for which U.S. women can expect to live 82 years.
First, substitute 82 for E in the formula: 82=0.177t + 71.35.
Next, solve for t by subtracting 71.35: 10.65=0.177t.
Now, divide both sides by 0.177.60.17 = t
H.Melikian/1100/04 24
Solution cont.
The formula indicates that U.S. women born approximately 60 years after 1950, or in 2010, can expect to live 82 years.
