Solutions to a System of Equations - Graphically III
Introduction

A system of equations can be solved graphically by drawing both equations on the same coordinate plane. The solution is found by looking at where th...

Transcript

Ethan saw a problem in his math textbook that asked him to solve the linear equations y = 2x + 3 and y = 2(x + 1) + 1 graphically.

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

Then, he follows the same steps for the...
