Download 6-1 Solving systems by graphing

WARM UP
Find roads that intersect once, more than once, and never
intersect. Describe the roads as intersecting lines, curves,
or parallel lines.
THINK & DISCUSS
How can you show all the solutions of the linear equation y = 2x – 3?
Two or more linear equations together form a system of linear
equations. One way to solve a system of linear equations is by
graphing. Any point common to all the lines is a solution of the
system.

SOLVING SPECIAL TYPES OF SYSTEMS
A system of linear equations has
no solution when the graphs of the
equations are parallel. There are no
points of intersection, so there is no
solution.
A system of linear equations has
infinitely many solutions when the
graphs of the equations are the
same line. All points on the line are
solutions of the system

ENTERTAINMENT
A cable company offers a “pay-per-view” club. Let
c = the annual cost and n = the number of movies
you watch in a year. Write a system of linear
equations to decide whether to join the club.
