Solutions to a System of Equations - Graphically II
Introduction

A system of equations can be solved graphically by drawing both equations on the same coordinate plane. The solution is the point where the graphs in...

Transcript

Jason is working on a math challenge where he needs to solve the system of linear equations y = 2x + 1 and y = 2x − 3 graphically.

For the first equation, he chooses the values 0, 1, 2, and 3 for x and finds the corresponding values of y. He plots these points on a graph and draws a straight line.

Next, he repeats the same process fo...
