Linear Equations 179621
1. The problem involves understanding and analyzing the given equations:
- $y = 1 - x$
- $y = x$
- $x - y = 1$
- $x = 1$
- $y = -x - 1$
2. These are linear equations representing lines in the coordinate plane.
3. Let's rewrite each equation in slope-intercept form $y = mx + b$ where possible:
- $y = 1 - x$ can be written as $y = -x + 1$
- $y = x$ is already in slope-intercept form with slope $1$ and intercept $0$
- $x - y = 1$ rearranged gives $y = x - 1$
- $x = 1$ is a vertical line where $x$ is always $1$
- $y = -x - 1$ is already in slope-intercept form with slope $-1$ and intercept $-1$
4. Each line can be graphed and analyzed for intersections and relative positions.
5. For example, the intersection of $y = x$ and $y = 1 - x$ is found by setting $x = 1 - x$ which gives $2x = 1$ or $x = \frac{1}{2}$, then $y = \frac{1}{2}$.
6. Similarly, intersections and relationships can be found for other pairs.
Final answer: The equations represent five distinct lines with slopes and intercepts as identified, useful for graphing and analyzing their intersections.
