What is a system of equations?Set of equations with two or more variables.
Example: x + 2y = 6 x – y = 3
Solution to a system of linear equations is an ordered pair that makes each equation true.Example: (4, 1) is the solution to the above
system, because it makes each equation true. 4 + 2(1) = 6 4 – 1 = 3

Types of systems (Put on a note card)Independent system
System with exactly one solution.Graph of system contains two intersecting
lines (equations have different slopes).Dependent system
System with infinitely many solutions.Graph of system contains coinciding lines
(both equations have same slope & y-intercept).
Inconsistent systemSystem with no solutions.Graph of system contains parallel lines
(same slope, different y-intercepts).

Solving Linear Systems: GraphingGraph each equation.
The point where the two lines intersect is the solution to the system.
You should ALWAYS check your solution algebraically by substituting the solution point for x & y in each equation.

Graph each line and find the intersection.
The lines appear to intersect at (2, 1). Check solution algebraically by substituting (2, 1) into each equation.

This second equation is ugly! Let’s rewrite in slope-intercept form.
Move y to the left and x to the right.

Both lines have the same slope, so they are parallel. This is an inconsistent system with no solution (so there’s no reason for us to actually graph it).
