Graphing Calculator:

Required for this class and all future math classes.

May be used on the PLAN, ACT, and SAT.

TI-83, TI-83 plus, TI-84, TI-84 plus recommended.

May rent one for one class period for $.25 and ID.

May rent one for $3 for the whole semester for class

use only.

We are currently doing Scatter Plots and Linear

Regressions. (Line of Best Fit)

Coming up:Solve the system of equations:

2x + y = 63x - y = 9

Add the equations together to get:5x = 15

so x = 3

Substitute into either of the given equations to get:

2(3) + y = 6so

y = 0Solution: (3, 0)

With TechnologySolve:

2x + y = 63x - y = 9

Solve each equation for y and enter them into the graphing calculator:

y = -2x + 6y = 3x - 9
