Learning Objective
I can solve a system of two linear equations by graphing them on the coordinate plane and identifying the point of intersection.
- 1
If Abby's earnings are represented by a, and Ben's earnings are represented by b, then a + b = $50.
- 2
The point where the two lines intersect represents the earnings of Abby and Ben that satisfy both constraints.
- 3
The solution to the system of equations can be found by identifying the point of intersection on the graph, where one axis represents Abby's earnings and the other represents Ben's earnings.
