Solving a system of linear equations using a graph
A system of linear equations includes two or more linear equations. The graphs of two lines will intersect at a single point if they are not parallel. Two parallel lines can also intersect if they are coincident, which means they are the same line and they intersect at every point. For two lines that are not parallel, the single point of intersection will satisfy both equations and therefore represent the solution to the system.
To find this point when the equations are given as functions, we can solve for an input value so that
In other words, we can set the formulas for the lines equal to one another, and solve for the input that satisfies the equation.
Finding a point of intersection algebraically
Find the point of intersection of the lines
and
Set
This tells us the lines intersect when the input is
We can then find the output value of the intersection point by evaluating either function at this input.
If we were asked to find the point of intersection of two distinct parallel lines, should something in the solution process alert us to the fact that there are no solutions?
Yes. After setting the two equations equal to one another, the result would be the contradiction “0 = non-zero real number”.
Look at the graph in
[link] and identify the following for the function
y- intercept
x -intercept(s)
slope
Is
parallel or perpendicular to
(or neither)?
Is
an increasing or decreasing function (or neither)?
Write a transformation description for
from the identity toolkit function
Slope -1
Neither parallel nor perpendicular
Decreasing function
Given the identity function, perform a vertical flip (over the
t -axis) and shift up 5 units.
A company sells sports helmets. The company incurs a one-time fixed cost for $250,000. Each helmet costs $120 to produce, and sells for $140.
Find the cost function,
to produce
helmets, in dollars.
Find the revenue function,
from the sales of
helmets, in dollars.
Find the break-even point, the point of intersection of the two graphs
The cost function in the sum of the fixed cost, $125,000, and the variable cost, $120 per helmet.
The revenue function is the total revenue from the sale of
helmets,
The break-even point is the point of intersection of the graph of the cost and revenue functions. To find the
x -coordinate of the coordinate pair of the point of intersection, set the two equations equal, and solve for
To find
evaluate either the revenue or the cost function at 12,500.
is it possible to leave every good at the same level

I don't think so. because check it, if the demand for chicken increases, people will no longer consume fish like they used to causing a fall in the demand for fish

is not really possible to let the value of a goods to be same at the same time.....

Suppose the inflation rate is 6%, does it mean that all the goods you purchase will cost
6% more than previous year? Provide with reasoning.
Not necessarily. To measure the inflation rate economists normally use an averaged price index of a basket of certain goods. So if you purchase goods included in the basket, you will notice that you pay 6% more, otherwise not necessarily.
Good day
How do I calculate this question: C= 100+5yd G= 2000 T= 2000 I(planned)=200.
Suppose the actual output is 3000. What is the level of planned expenditures at this level of output?

money as unit of account means what?
Kalombe
A unit of account is something that can be used to value goods and services and make calculations

all of you please speak in English I can't understand you're language

I want to know how can we define macroeconomics in one line
Muhammad
it must be .9 or 0.9
no Mpc is greater than 1
Y=100+.9Y+50
Y-.9Y=150
0.1Y/0.1=150/0.1
Y=1500

Mercy is it clear?😋

hi can someone help me on this question
If a negative shocks shifts the IS curve to the left, what type of policy do you suggest so as to stabilize the level of output?
discuss your answer using appropriate graph.
