Using Graphs and Tables
to Solve Linear Systems
A system of equations is a set of two or more
equations containing two or more variables.
A linear system is a system of equations
containing only linear equations.
Recall that a line is an infinite set of points that
are solutions to a linear equation.
The solution of a system of equations is the set of
all points that satisfy each equation.
Holt Algebra 2

Using Graphs and Tables
to Solve Linear Systems
On the graph of the system of two equations, the
solution is the set of points where the lines
intersect.
A point is a solution to a system of equation if the
x- and y-values of the point satisfy both
equations.
Satisfy is another way to say the x and y work in
all equations in the system. We check this by
substituting the values into the equation.

Using Graphs and Tables
to Solve Linear Systems
Many systems of equations have exactly one
solution.
However, linear systems may also have
infinitely many or no solutions.
A consistent system is a set of equations or
inequalities that has at least one solution.
(intersecting lines OR overlapping lines, one
on top of the other)
An inconsistent system will have no
solutions. (parallel lines that never intersect)

Using Graphs and Tables
to Solve Linear Systems
You can classify linear systems by comparing the
slopes and y-intercepts of the equations.
An independent system has equations with different
slopes. (intersecting lines)
A dependent system has equations with equal
slopes and equal y-intercepts. (overlapping lines)
