For
solving system of equations, we can use either substitution where we plug one
equation into the other, or elimination where we combine the equations.
-
Using elimination,
you would to eliminate one variable from both equations, so you automatically would
get one equation with one variable!
- Using
substitution
means you are going to solve one equation for one variable and substitute with
its value in the other equation in order to get also an equation with one
variable.
Let's take an example ...
y+x=2 and y-2x = 1
<span>Using <span>elimination, we need to subtract these two equation; one from the other...
y+x=2
-
y-2x=1
-----------
0+3x=1
then
x=1/3 and then substitute into any equation to get y-value</span></span>
y+x=2
y+1/3 = 2 >>>>>
y=5/3NOW...<span>Using substitution
</span>y+x=2 and y-2x = 1 >>(y=1+2x)
Plug (y=1+2x) into y+x=2 and solve for x
y+x=2
(1+2x) + x =2
1+3x = 2
3x=1
again (and for sure)
x = 1/3plug in x=1/3 into any of the equations above to get y:
y+x=2
y+1/3=2
y=5/3DOne !!!!!!
I hope you got
the idea
If you still need help, just let me know.

Use these equations when converting polar equations to parametric equations:
We know that 
, so substitute that into both equations for x and y.
Now, replace 
with any variable that you want to represent the parametric equations in. I'll use the standard variable, 
Thus, represented in parametric form is:
Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!

Slope equals rise over the run
so if slope = 5 then the rise also equals 5 and the run is 1
