Graph the equation.
Definitions Linear System (or System of Equations) = Two or more equations with the same variables Solution of a Linear System = The point where the two lines cross/intersect. -Must make BOTH equations TRUE! Point of Intersection = The solution of the linear system.
Solving a System of Equations by Graphing 1. Write each equation into slope-intercept form. What is m and b? m = move b = beginning 2. Graph both equations in the same coordinate plane. 3. Find the point of intersection. 4. Check your answer. - Plug that point into both equations and make sure that it is true for both.
Solve the system by graphing. Ex. 1) Put in slope- intercept form. 2) Graph the equations. - Find m and b first. 3) Point of intersection? 4) Check answer!
Step 5- Check your answer. x y
