We can see the solution clearly by plotting the graph of each equation. Since the solution is an ordered pair that satisfies both equations, it is a point on both of the lines and thus the point of intersection of the two lines. There are multiple methods of solving systems of linear equations. For a system of linear equations in two variables, we can determine both the type of system and the solution by graphing the system of equations on the same set of axes. Graph both equations on the same set of axes, use function notation so you can check your solution more easily later.
You can check to make sure that this is the solution to the system by substituting the ordered pair into both equations. Yes, in both cases we can still graph the system to determine the type of system and solution. If the two lines are parallel, the system has no solution and is inconsistent.
If the two lines are identical, the system has infinite solutions and is a dependent system. Plot the three different systems with an online graphing tool.
Categorize each solution as either consistent or inconsistent. If the system is consistent determine whether it is dependent or independent. You may find it easier to plot each system individually, then clear out your entries before you plot the next.

Solutions of Systems Overview Learning Outcomes Identify the three types of solutions possible from a system of two linear equations. Use a graph to find solution s to a system of two linear equations. A General Note: Types of Linear Systems There are three types of systems of linear equations in two variables, and three types of solutions. The solution appears to be 2, 2. One way of verifying that the point does exist on both lines is to substitute the x - and y -values of the ordered pair into the equation of each line.
If the substitution results in a true statement, then you have the correct solution! Since the solution of the system must be a solution to all the equations in the system, check the point in each equation. Substitute 2 for x and 2 for y in each equation. Since 2, 2 is a solution of each of the equations in the system, 2, 2 is a solution of the system. Substitute 3 for x and 9 for y in each equation.
Since 3, 9 is not a solution of one of the equations in the system, it cannot be a solution of the system. Remember, that in order to be a solution to the system of equations, the value of the point must be a solution for both equations. Once you find one equation for which the point is false, you have determined that it is not a solution for the system.
A 2, 7 is a solution of one equation but not the other, so it is a solution of the system. B 2, 7 is a solution of one equation but not the other, so it is not a solution of the system. C 2, 7 is a solution of both equations, so it is a solution of the system. D 2, 7 is not a solution of either equation, so it is not a solution to the system. If the point were a solution of one equation but not the other, then it is not a solution of the system. In fact, the point 2, 7 is a solution of both equations, so it is a solution of the system.
The two lines are not identical, so it is the only solution. The point 2, 7 is a solution of both equations, so it is a solution of the system.
Substituting 2 for x and 7 for y gives true statements in both equations, so the point is a solution to both equations. That means it is a solution to the system. Substituting 2 for x and 7 for y gives true statements in both equations, so the point lies on both lines. This means it is a solution to both equations.
It is also the only solution to the system. Graphing as a Solution Method. You can solve a system graphically. However, it is important to remember that you must check the solution, as it might not be accurate. First, graph both equations on the same axes.
The two lines intersect once. That means there is only one solution to the system. The point of intersection appears to be 1, 2. Read the point from the graph as accurately as possible. Check the values in both equations. Substitute 1 for x and 2 for y.
Since 1, 2 is a solution for each of the equations in the system, it is the solution for the system. The two equations graph as the same line. So every point on that line is a solution for the system of equations. The system is graphed correctly below.
This means it cannot be a solution for the system. Graphing a Real-World Context. Graphing a system of equations for a real-world context can be valuable in visualizing the problem.
The number of 2-point shots she made was one greater than the number of 3-point shots she made. How many of each type of basket did she score? Assign variables to the two unknowns — the number of each type of shots. Calculate how many points are made from each of the two types of shots.
Write an equation using information given in the problem. How many solutions does a system of linear equations have if there are at least two? Number of solutions to system of equations review. Next lesson. A system of linear equations usually has a single solution, but sometimes it can have no solution parallel lines or infinite solutions same line. This article reviews all three cases.
