Lesson 7.1: Solving Systems of Equations Graphically

Skydiving is the sport of exiting an aircraft and parachuting down to Earth. Sometimes a person will deploy their parachute immediately, and sometimes they will free-fall for part of the trip and open their parachute at a lower altitude. Linear and quadratic equations can be used to model some aspects of a skydiver’s descent, and multiple equations can be used to model multiple descents.
