1 Solving Systems of Equations Graphically


LT 7.1: Identify the number of solutions a system has LT 7.1.2: Solve a system of equations graphically A system of equations is:

The solution to a system of equations is:

Example 1. Identify whether each point is a solution to the system. a. y = 2x + 1 y = -4x + 19 (3, 7) b. 5x + 2y = 12 3x 4y = -5 (2, 1)

A system of equations may have __________, ____________, or _____________ solutions. 1. 2. 3.

Example 2. Determine the number of solutions for each system. a. y = 3x 4 y = 3x + 8 b. 2x + y = 10 -2x + y = 4 c. y = - x 8 x + 2y = 16

Example 3. Graph each system to solve. a. y = 5x + 3 5x y = 10 b. 3x - 2y = 9 y=-x6 c. y = -3x y=4

Graphing isnt the best way to solve because:
