Algebraic relationships
Simultaneous linear equations
  • Graph two linear equations using a table of values or a graphing application and identify the point of intersection

  • Solve a pair of simultaneous linear equations by finding the point of intersection of their graphs, with and without graphing applications

  • Determine and interpret the point of intersection of two linear graphs in a variety of practical contexts

  • Use simultaneous equations to model and analyse the break-even point of a problem where cost and revenue are represented by linear equations

  • Identify the break-even point and solve problems involving profit and loss by using a spreadsheet to model the problem

Graphs of practical situations
  • Construct a linear or exponential graph using a table of values or graphing application to make predictions in practical contexts

  • Represent the description of a real-world situation graphically

  • Identify the strengths and limitations of linear and exponential models in given practical contexts
