Systems of Equations by Graphing Using the calculator. A System of Equations:. Consists of two linear equations We want to find out information about the two lines: The exact location (x, y) where they cross If the two equations are the same line (infinite solutions)

A System of Equations: • Consists of two linear equations • We want to find out information about the two lines: • The exact location (x, y) where they cross • If the two equations are the same line (infinite solutions) • If they are parallel, then they don’t cross (no solution)
3 different possible outcomes Same line ---infinite solutions Consistent & dependent One solution at a point (x, y) Consistent & independent Parallel lines never cross----no solution inconsistent
They do cross….but Where????? • Steps: • Type both eqs into y= • Graph them • Answer: (2, 7)
They do cross….but Where????? • Steps: • Type both eqs into y= • Graph them • Answer: (2, -2)
They do cross….but Where????? • Steps: • Type both eqs into y= • Graph them • Answer: (-1, 3)
They do cross….but Where????? • Steps: • Type both eqs into y= • Graph them • Answer: Same Slopes ------> Parallel Lines NO Solution
Solve for y Same Equations... So Same Line!! Infinite Solutions
