What is a system of equations?
A system of equations is when you have
two or more equations using the same
variables. The solution to the system is the point
that satisfies ALL of the equations. This
point will be an ordered pair.
When graphing, you will encounter three
possibilities.

Intersecting Lines
The point where the lines
intersect is your solution.
The solution of this graphis (1, 2)
(1,2)

Parallel Lines
These lines never
intersect!
Since the lines never
cross, there is
NO SOLUTION!
Parallel lines have the
same slope with different
y-intercepts.

y-intercept = 2
y-intercept = -1

Coinciding Lines
These lines are the same!
Since the lines are on top
of each other, there are
INFINITELY MAN Y
SOLUTIONS!
Coinciding lines have the
same slope and
y-intercepts.

1) Find the solution to the following
system:
2x + y = 4
x - y = 2
Graph both equations. I will graph usingx- and y-intercepts (plug in zeros).
Graph the ordered pairs.
2x + y = 4
(0, 4) and (2, 0)
x ± y = 2
(0, -2) and (2, 0)

Graph the equations.
2x + y = 4
(0, 4) and (2, 0)
x - y = 2
(0, -2) and (2, 0)
Where do the lines intersect?
(2, 0)

Check your answer!
To check your answer, plugthe point back into bothequations.
2x + y = 4
2(2) + (0) = 4
x - y = 2(2) ± (0) = 2 Nice job«let¶s try another!

2) Find the solution to the following
system:
y = 2x ± 3
-2x + y = 1
Graph both equations. Put both equationsin slope-intercept or standard form. I¶ll do
slope-intercept form on this one!
y = 2x ± 3
y = 2x + 1
Graph using slope and y-intercept

Graph the equations.
y = 2x ± 3
m = 2 and b = -3
y = 2x + 1m = 2 and b = 1
Where do the lines intersect?No solution!
Notice that the slopes are the same with differenty-intercepts. If you recognize this early, you don¶t
have to graph them!

Check your answer!
Not a lot to check«Just
make sure you set up
your equations correctly.I double-checked it and I
did it right«

Solving a system of equations by graphing.
Let's summarize! There are 3 steps to
solving a system using a graph.
Step 1: Graph both equations.
Step 2: Do the graphs intersect?
Step 3: Check your solution.
Graph using slope and y ± intercept
or x- and y-intercepts. Be sure to usea ruler and graph paper!
This is the solution! LABEL the
solution!
Substitute the x and y values into
both equations to verify the point is a
solution to both equations.
