An interactive companion for the 1.07 Bonus Activity. See every linear–quadratic system, compare graphing with substitution, and decode the final riddle.
Learn the methods
Before solving the bonus, learn how to construct each graph and what to do at every substitution step.
Turn y = mx + b into two points.
1.07 Bonus Lab
Every problem from the bonus activity, rebuilt as an explorable demonstration.
Graph 1 · Two intersections
Choose a stop
How many solutions does this graph show?
A solution is a point that lies on both graphs.
The worked explanation is locked
Decode the duck joke
Explore all six stops to reveal the answer letters.
Practice Studio
Change the equations, predict before looking, and use the graph to test your reasoning.
Shape the equations
Construct
Line: plot b, then use rise/run. Parabola: plot the vertex, axis, and symmetric points.
Read
Every shared point is a solution. Record both coordinates, not only x.
Solve
Set the y-expressions equal, simplify, and solve the resulting quadratic.
Finish
Substitute each x back to find y, write ordered pairs, and check both equations.
