Graphing Calculator:
Required for this class and all future math classes.
May be used on the PLAN, ACT, and SAT.
TI-83, TI-83 plus, TI-84, TI-84 plus recommended.
May rent one for one class period for $.25 and ID.
May rent one for $3 for the whole semester for class
use only.
We are currently doing Scatter Plots and Linear
Regressions. (Line of Best Fit)
Coming up:Solve the system of equations:
2x + y = 63x - y = 9
Add the equations together to get:5x = 15
so x = 3
Substitute into either of the given equations to get:
2(3) + y = 6so
y = 0Solution: (3, 0)
With TechnologySolve:
2x + y = 63x - y = 9
Solve each equation for y and enter them into the graphing calculator:
y = -2x + 6y = 3x - 9
