Lines and Conics App
How do I solve a system of linear equations in standard form?
To solve a system of linear equations in standard form with the Lines and Conics App follow the steps below:
Example:
Graph the lines 3x – 2y=6 and -x+4y=1 and solve for their intersection.
1. Select the Lines and Conics App icon
from the Home Screen.
2. Press = in an empty equation to add an equation template for a line in standard form.
3. Select the template by using the left arrow key ‹ and right arrow key › to change the templates.
4. Fill in the equation template using the numbers and arrow keys to navigate the entries.
NOTE: use the plus + and minus − signs to change the signs within the template.
5. Press = to complete the entry.
6. Repeat for the second equation.
7. Press h to view the graph.
8. Press g and use the left and right arrow keys to navigate to the intersection.
Note: Points of Interest Trace will find points of interest on equations that are functions (lines and vertical parabolas) if it is turned on.
9. Press g to explore the graph.
Note: Toggle between Y= editor and E: editor entry to manage the graphs of functions by pressing the c key.
