Types of Systems

 When graphing, there are many different equations. First off is the most well known, linear. The equation of a linear line is y=x. This is a consistent/ independent. This equation generally looks like this when graphed:

There are others such as the parent equation y=x^2. When graphed this will form a parabola, a u-shaped line.It is a consistent/ independent graph. Then similar to that is the Absolute Value equation or y=|x|. This ends up as v-shaped line. It is a consistent/ independent graph.

The last three are Square Root equation, Exponential equation, and Rational equation. Square Root is y=rx.  This is a consistent/ independent. It's graph looks like this:

 'r' stands for radical and the symbol looks like this:

Exponential has the equation of y=2^x. This a consistent/ independent line. It looks like this:

Finally rational has an equation of y=1/x. This is an inconsistent graph. It looks like this:
