What is a system of equations? A system of equations is when you have two or more equations using the same variables. The solution to the system is the point that satisfies ALL of the equations. This point will be an ordered pair. When graphing, you will encounter three possibilities.

N UMBER OF S OLUTIONS OF A L INEAR S YSTEM I DENTIFYING T HE N UMBER OF S OLUTIONS y x y x Lines intersect one solution Lines are parallel no solution y x Lines coincide infinitely many solutions

Intersecting Lines The point where the lines intersect is your solution. The solution of this graph is (1, 2) (1,2)

Parallel Lines These lines never intersect! Since the lines never cross, there is NO SOLUTION! Parallel lines have the same slope with different y-intercepts.

Coinciding Lines These lines are the same! Since the lines are on top of each other, there are INFINITELY MANY SOLUTIONS! Coinciding lines have the same slope and y-intercepts.

Solving a system of equations by graphing. Let's summarize! There are 3 steps to solving a system using a graph. Step 1: Graph both equations. Step 2: Do the graphs intersect? Step 3: Check your solution. Graph using slope and y – intercept or x- and y-intercepts. Be sure to use a ruler and graph paper! This is the solution! LABEL the solution! Substitute the x and y values into both equations to verify the point is a solution to both equations.

1) Find the solution to the following system: 2x + y = 4 x - y = 2 First solve for y: y = -2x + 4 y = x - 2 Now graph both lines: Solution: (2, 0)

y = 2x + 0 & y = -1x + 3 Slope = 2/1 y-intercept= 0 Up 2 and right 1 y-intercept= +3 Slope = -1/1 Down 1 and right 1 The solution is the point they cross at (1,2) (1,2)

y = x - 3 & y = -3x + 1 Slope = 1/1 y-intercept= - 3 y-intercept= +1 Slope = -3/1 The solution is the point they cross at (1,-2)

The solution is the point they cross at (1,2) y =-2x + 4 & y = 2x + 0 Slope = -2/1 y-intercept= 4 y-intercept= 0 Slope = 2/1

Practice – Solving by Graphing y – x = 1  (0,1) and (-1,0) y + x = 3  (0,3) and (3,0) Solution is probably (1,2) … Check it: 2 – 1 = 1 true = 3 true therefore, (1,2) is the solution (1,2)

Practice – Solving by Graphing Inconsistent: no solutions y = -3x + 5  (0,5) and (3,-4) y = -3x – 2  (0,-2) and (-2,4) They look parallel: No solution Check it: m 1 = m 2 = -3 Slopes are equal therefore it’s an inconsistent system

Practice – Solving by Graphing Consistent: infinite sol’s 3y – 2x = 6  (0,2) and (-3,0) -12y + 8x = -24  (0,2) and (-3,0) Looks like a dependant system … Check it: divide all terms in the 2 nd equation by -4 and it becomes identical to the 1 st equation therefore, consistent, dependant system (1,2)

Ex: Check whether the ordered pairs are solns. of the system. x-3y= -5 -2x+3y=10 A. (1,4) 1-3(4)= = = -5 *doesn’t work in the 1 st eqn, no need to check the 2 nd. Not a solution. B. (-5,0) -5-3(0)= = -5 -2(-5)+3(0)=10 10=10 Solution
