Introduction: Systems of Linear Equations - Part 1

4What is an intersection point? (1/2)

As you could observe from the animation, the hare was able to overtake the tortoise. So on their race track there must be a meeting point of the two. This point is thus the answer to the question:

"When and where do the animals meet?"

You will find the answer to this question in several ways in this course.

Quick exercise:

Write down the two linear function equations for the graphs of the tortoise and hare.
