Lesson 1: Solving Linear Systems by Graphing

Module 7: Systems of Linear Equations

Discover

In this section you will try solving a system of equations. You will begin to explore how you can use graphing to determine the solution to a system of equations. You may notice a relationship between the solution of a linear system and the graph of the system. Later in the lesson, you will revisit your initial discoveries from this section.

In this exercise you should have learned that there are many combinations of x-values and y-values that will satisfy a particular equation. However, you should have also observed that there may be fewer x-values and y-values that satisfy each equation in a system of equations.

You will revisit the principles presented in this Discover section later in the lesson.
