Question 1

LEVEL 6

Using the graph, find the solution to the simultaneous equations represented by the lines.

 

Select the correct answer from the list below:

A: x = 0.6, y = 0.6

B:x = 0.4, y = 0.8

C:x = 0.6, y = 0.3

D:x = 1.2, y = 0.4

 

CORRECT ANSWER:   A: x = 0.6, y = 0.6

WORKED SOLUTION:

To solve a pair of simultaneous equations graphically, we find the intersection of the two equations when plotted.

Here the intersection coordinates are (0.6,0.6)

Question 2

LEVEL 6

Using the graph, find the solution to the simultaneous equations represented by the lines.

Select the correct answer from the list below:

A: x = 2, y = 2

B: x = 1, y = 2

C: x =2, y = 1

D:x = 1, y = 1

 

CORRECT ANSWER:  C: x = 1, y = 2

WORKED SOLUTION:

To solve a pair of simultaneous equations graphically, we find the intersection of the two equations when plotted.

Here the intersection coordinates are (1,2)

A: x = 4, y = 3.5

B: x = 1, y = 7.5

C: x = -1, y = 8.5

D: x = 1, y = 4.5

 

CORRECT ANSWER:  B: x = 1, y = 7.5

WORKED SOLUTION:

To solve a pair of simultaneous equations graphically, we find the intersection of the two equations when plotted.

Here the intersection coordinates are (1,7.5)

Question 5

LEVEL 6

Using the graph, find the solutions to the simultaneous equations represented by the line and the circle.

Select the correct answer from the list below:

A: x = 0, y = 2 and x = -2, y = 0

B: x = 7, y = 5 and x = -7, y = -5

C: x = 5, y = 7 and x = -5, y = -7

D: x = 5, y = 7 and x = -7, y = -5

 

CORRECT ANSWER:  D: x = 5, y = 7 and x = -7, y = -5

WORKED SOLUTION:

To solve a pair of simultaneous equations graphically, we find the intersection of the two equations when plotted.

Here there are 2 intersections, so we have 2 solutions.

The intersection coordinates are (5,7) and (-7,-5).
