LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEETS

Illustrating and Graphing Systems of Linear Equations in Two Variables
Objective: After going through this LAS, students are expected to:
1. illustrates a system of linear equations in two variables; 2.graphs a system of linear equations in two variables; and
2. categorizes when a given system of linear equations in two variables has graphs that are parallel, intersecting, and coinciding.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION FOR LEARNERS:

Lesson 1. Illustrating Systems of Linear Equations in Two
Variables
There are three kinds of systems of linear equations in two
variables according to the number of solutions. These are:
1. System of consistent and dependent equations
This is a system of linear equations having infinitely many
solutions. The slopes of the lines defined by the equations are
equal; their y-intercepts are also equal; and their graphs
coincide.
Lesson 2. Graphing Systems of Linear Equations in Two
Variables
The solution of a system of linear equations can be determined
algebraically or graphically. To find the solution graphically,
graph both equations on a Cartesian coordinate plane then find
the point of intersection of the graphs, if it exists.
Examples: Find the solutions of the following systems of linear
equations graphically.

2. System of consistent and independent equations

This is a system of linear equations having exactly one solution.
The slopes of the lines defined by the equations are not equal;
their y-intercepts could be equal or unequal; and their graphs
intersect.

3. System of inconsistent equations

This is a system of linear equations having no solution. The
slopes of the lines defined by the equations are equal or have no
slopes; their y-intercepts are not equal; and their graphs are
parallel.

Activity 1: Let’s Examine! (10 points)

Directions: Graph each system of equations and state whether the system is consistent and dependent, consistent and independent, or
inconsistent using slope-intercept method. You can use another graphing paper.
 Activity 2: Transform into Standard Form! (5 points)
Directions: Determine whether each system of linear equations is consistent and dependent, consistent and independent, or
inconsistent.

Assessment: (5 points)
Directions: Read and understand each statement carefully. Write the letter of your correct answer on the space provided for.

equations?
A. −3𝑥 − 6𝑦 = −24 B. 7𝑥 + 14𝑦 = −16 C. 3𝑥 − 2𝑦 = 4 D. 2𝑥 + 4𝑦 = 16
_____4. If you will graph the system , then what is the point of intersection of the two graphs?

A. (2,4) B. (4,2) C. (3,−2) D. (−6,−20)
