Finding the Point of Intersection

As we continue our study of linear functions, we spent time today looking at situations where two lines intersect. One common example uses a company's costs vs. income data. Another example looked at speeds of different people walking and when they might be at the same spot. We looked at how using equations could give us the same result as a graph and a table, and might be a quicker way to solve the problem.

Tonight's Homework: Complete the first page of the ivory colored packet called "Does Order Matter?" Then do ACE 3 (25, 27, 38, and 42). For each of these problems, make a graph and a set of equations to help you answer the questions.
