System of Equations: Graphing Method What is a system of equations? A collection of equations involving the same set of variables. We will be dealing with two equations and two variables. x – y = 2 3y + 2x = 9

Solving Systems of Equations: Graphing Method Step 1) Write the equations of the lines in slope intercept form. Step 2) Graph each line on the same graph. Step 3) Determine the point of intersection and write this point as an ordered pair. If the two equations have no points in common, the system of equations has no solution. Parallel lines; same m and different b If the two equations represent the same line, the system of equations has infinitely many solutions. Same line; same m and same b Step 4) If there is one solution, check your work. Substitute the ordered pair for x and y in each equation.

Example Graph the system of equations. Determine whether the system has one solution, no solution, or infinitely many solutions. If the system has one solution, determine the solution and check your answer. x – y = 2 3y + 2x = 9 Step 1: Write each equation in slope-intercept form. 3y + 2x = 9 -2x -2x x – y = 2 -x -x 3y = -2x + 9 -y = -x + 2 3 3 3 -1 -1 -1 y = x – 2

Step 2: Graph each line on the same graph x y Step 3: Determine the point of intersection. (3,1). y = x – 2 This system of equations has one solution, the point (3, 1). 3 – 1 = 2 3(1) + 2(3) = 9 2 = 2 3 + 6 = 9 9 = 9 Step 4: Check your answer

SWBAT… Solve a system of equations using the graphing method Wed, 2/6 Agenda WU (15 min) Conclusions about graphing method and solutions (25 min) Review HW#1 (10 min) Warm-Up: What are advantages and disadvantages to the graphing method. 1. Sample Answer: Graphing clearly shows whether a system of equations has one solution, no solution, or infinitely many solutions. However, finding the exact values of x and y from a graph can be difficult. 2. Yes. - 4 = -4 and 4 = 4

Disadvantage to graphing? Graphing clearly shows whether a system of equations has one solution, no solution, or infinitely many solutions. It’s visual! Disadvantage to graphing? Finding the exact values of x and y from a graph can be difficult. 11

Additional Examples Graph the system of equations. Determine whether the system has one solution, no solution, or infinitely many solutions. If the system has one solution, determine the solution.

Lines Intersect y The two equations in slope-intercept form are: x The point of intersection of the two lines is the point (3, 0). This system of equations has one solution, the point (3,0).

Lines Do Not Intersect Parallel Lines x y The two equations in slope-intercept form are: This system of equations represents two parallel lines. This system of equations has no solution because these two lines have no points in common.

Lines that are the Same y x y The two equations in slope-intercept form are: These two equations represent the same line. Therefore, this system of equations has infinitely many solutions.
