Knowledge
Students know:
- That a point of intersection between two linear functions represents one solution to those functions.
Skills
Students are able to:
- Use mathematical language to explain why the x-coordinates are the same at intersection for y = f(x) and y = g(x).
Understanding
Students understand that:
- That in cases of a system of linear equations, there is sometimes only one, common point for each one that yields a solution. This is different from previous experiences with single linear equations where every point on its line is a solution set.
Vocabulary
- x-intercepts
- y-intercepts
- Point of intersection
- One solution
