Since we dont have an assignment, let us just

recap linear equation. Can anyone tell me what
a linear equation is?
Very good! How about its graph?
Precisely!

If you no longer have a question, let us now

proceed to our new lesson.
Before we proceed to the main landmark of our
tour called new learning, let us first take a look

Linear equation is an algebraic equation in which
each term has an exponent of one.
The graph of linear equation is a straight line.
None maam!

at the following pictures.

7. Motivation

1st picture

Yes maam! It is the market in Naga city.

Are you familiar with the place in this picture?

Maam, Ive been into that place.

Who among of you had been in this place?

Maam! The roads intersect.

That was nice! Now, let us consider the roads in

this picture. What do you think class is the
relationship of these roads?
Very good!
2nd picture

Yes maam! It is also in the market of Naga city.

How about this picture? Are you also familiar
with the place in this picture?

The two roads are parallel to each other.

Good! Since you are familiar with this place, let

us take a look at the roads in this picture. What
observation can you make regarding the
relationship of these roads?
Precisely!
3rd picture

Yes maam!
How about the last picture? Are you also familiar
with the place in this picture?
Very good! This is the skyway of SLEX Alabang.
Let us also consider the roads in this picture. As
you can see there is a skyway and a main way
that is basically under the skyway. Can you see
it?
What if class you are on the skyway, can
possibly see the main way?

Yes maam!
No maam!
Based from the picture, the skyway and the main
way will look as if they coincide.

If you cant see the main way, what do you think

now is the relationship of the skyway and the
main way that is under the skyway?
Very good! Class, in algebra we have these
words that can used to name the roads that
intersect, the roads that are parallel and the
roads that coincide.

B. Lesson Proper
1. Presentation
the Lesson

of

The words that we will use to name the roads

that intersect, parallel and coincide are basically
our concern for today. Because today, we will be
dealing with the three types of system of linear
equations.
For us to be guided with our lesson, we have
here the following objectives that we need to
attain during and after the discussion of the
topic. Can anyone volunteer to read these
objectives?

2. Presentation of
the
Lesson
Objectives

Thank you!
For us to understand the things that we will
discuss today, we need first to unlock the
following terminologies:
Consistent

3. Unlocking
difficulties

It is a types of linear system that has exactly

one solution and whose graph consists of
of
intersecting lines.
Inconsistent
It is a type of linear system that has no
solution and whose graph consists of
parallel lines.
Dependent
It is also a type of linear system that has
infinite number of solutions and whose
graph consists of coinciding lines.
Solution
It is a point where the two lines
intersect/meet.
Before we discuss anything about our new

(A student raises a hand, was called and

recognized, then reads the objectives)
At the end of the lesson, students must:
1. Define system of linear equations.
2. Graph a given system of linear equations.
3. Classify whether a given system of linear
equations is consistent and independent,
inconsistent, or dependent.
4. Apply the concept of system of linear
equations into real life setting.

lesson, let us have first an activity.

4. Activity
a. Pre-Activity

Mechanics:
1. The class will be divided into three
groups.
2. Each group will be given two equations
to graph. Group 1 will graph it using x
and y intercepts, group 2 will graph it
using slope-intercept form and group 3
will graph it using table of values.
3. Each group will graph the two
equations in one Cartesian plane for 5
minutes only.
4. Each
group
will
choose
a
representative to present their work.
For you to have a high score in the activity,
please be guided by the following rubrics.

(Students count from 1-3)

(Students will do)
(Students will work the activity out)

Now, please start counting.

Proceed now to your respective groups and start
the activity immediately.

b. Activity

Times up! Please post your works on the board

(Solution and Graph of Group 2)

and present it.

Group 1, present your work on the board.

(Solution and Graph of Group 3)

Good job Group 1! Let us now proceed to the
presentation of group 2.

Very good group 2. Now, let us hear the

presentation of the last group.

Based from our outputs, I think system of linear

equations is the composition of two or more
equations working together.

Maam, the work of group 1.

Excellent outputs class! Let us clap our hands

for ourselves.
5. Analysis

Based from your outputs, who can define a

system of linear equations?

The work of group 1 is an example of a

consistent system because the graph consists of
intersecting lines.
Since the graph is intersecting lines, I think it has
only one solution.

Very good! System of linear equations has three

types: consistent, inconsistent, and dependent.
Whose work do you think is an example of
consistent system?
Very good! But why do you say so?

I think the work of group 2 is an example of an

inconsistent system because the graph consists
of parallel lines.
It has no solution.

Brilliant! How about its solution? Does consistent

system has one solution, no solution or infinitely
many solutions?

It has no solution since the lines did not intersect

at a certain point.

Excellent! Its solution is the point where the two

lines intersect.

I think it is an example of a dependent system.

How about inconsistent system? Which work do

you think is an example of an inconsistent
system?

Since the graph consists of coinciding lines, it

made me think that it is an example of a
dependent system.

Very good! If the graph of an inconsistent system

is parallel, what do you think with its solution?

I think it has infinite number of solutions because

the two lines coincide.

Why do you say so?

Very good! How about the work of group 3? Who
can tell me what type of system is it?

None Maam!

Precisely! What made you think that it is an

example of a dependent system?
Brilliant! How about its solution?
Very good! Always remember class that the
point/s where the two lines met is/are actually
the solution/s of the system.
Do you still have any questions regarding
consistent, inconsistent and dependent system?
6. Abstraction

Let us continue our discussion. Basically, before

we can say that a particular system is consistent,
inconsistent or dependent, there are conditions
that must be satisfy first.
A system can only be said as consistent system
if it satisfies these three conditions:
1. The graph should consist of intersecting
lines.
2. The system should have only one solution
3. The system should satisfy the first property
of linear system,

Yes maam!
Yes maam! It has only one solution.

a1
b1
a2 b2

Let us take a look at the linear system given to

group 1. Let us see whether the system satisfies
the three conditions.

x+ y=6
x + y=4
Does the graph of the system consist of
intersecting lines?
Since the graph intersects, then the system
already satisfies the first condition. How about
the second condition? Does the system have
only one solution?
Exactly! How about the last condition? Who can
show us that the system satisfies the property?

a1
b1
a2 b2
1 1

1 1
1 1

Yes maam!
Since the three conditions have been satisfied,
then we can now say that the system given to
group 1 is really a consistent one.
Just like consistent system, inconsistent system
has also these three conditions:

The system also satisfies the second condition

since it has no solution because the graph is
parallel.
Yes maam!

1. The graph should consists of parallel lines

2. The system should have no solution
3. The system should satisfy the second
property of linear system,

Let us take a look at the system given to group 2
and let us see whether it satisfies the 3
conditions of an inconsistent system.

x+ y=4
Does the system consist of parallel lines?
The system already satisfies the first condition.
How about the second condition?
Very good! How about the last condition? Do you
think it will be satisfy?
Let us see. Who wants to show that the system
satisfies the last condition?

Yes maam!

The first and the second condition.

Since the three conditions have been satisfied,
we can now say that the system given to group 2
is really an inconsistent system.
Let us continue. Just like consistent and
inconsistent system, dependent system also has
these three conditions to be satisfied in order for
a given system to be considered as dependent
system.

Here are the conditions:

lines
2. The system should have infinite number of

None maam!

solutions
3. The system should satisfy the third
property of linear system,

a1
b1

b2

c1
= c2

7. Application

Let us take a look at the system given to group

3. Are there conditions that are satisfied already?

4 x 2 y =2
What are those?

8. Generalization

Very good! How about the last condition? Who

can show us that the system given to group 3
really satisfies the last condition?

Yes maam!
1. Consistent system
2. Inconsistent system
I learned the three types of systems of linear
equations. The consistent, inconsistent and
dependent.

Very good! As you can see all of the conditions

were satisfy by the system given to group 3. It
means that it is really an example of a
dependent system.
Do you still have any questions regarding the
conditions that must be satisfy in order for a
system to be considered as consistent,
inconsistent or dependent?
To test whether you really understand all the
conditions of consistent, inconsistent or
dependent system, let us have a board work. If I
call your name, go to board and graph the given
system as well as apply the properties to identify
whether its consistent, inconsistent or
dependent.
Are you now ready?

2 x y=5
Now, what did you learn from our discussion this
morning?

In real life, there will be people that we will meet

at exactly one point of our lives then they go and
we will never see them anymore. It is just like
consistent system.

Awesome! Let us complete the table of the three

types of system of linear equations regarding its
number of solution, property and sketch of its
graph.

There will also be people that we will never meet

in our lives no matter where we go and no matter
what we do. It is just like inconsistent system.
However, there will be people that we will meet
in our lives who will stay with us forever no
matter who and what we are.

Who can complete the table of a consistent

system?
None maam!

Very good! How about the table of an

inconsistent system?

Brilliant! Now, for the last one, who can complete

the table of a dependent system?

Excellent class! Now, who can relate the concept

of the different types of system of linear
equations into real life setting?

That was wonderful. Indeed, system of linear

equations can be used in order to relate the
people that come and pass into our lives. We
can also relate system of linear equations in our
relationship with other people.
Class, do you still have any questions?
If that is the case, let me test whether you really
learned or not. Please get crosswise and

answer the following for 10 minutes.
