Learning Objective

Students will be able to solve a system of linear equations by graphing each equation and identifying the point of intersection.

  • 1

    When graphing a system of equations, the intersection of the lines represents the x and y pair that satisfies both equations.

  • 2

    A system of equations is when you have 2 equations that contain your x and y values, and the solution is where the lines intersect.

  • 3

    To solve a system of equations graphically, graph both equations and find the point of intersection, which represents the solution to both equations.
