Front

What is a system of equations?

Back

A set of two or more equations with the same variables that are solved together.

Front

What does it mean to graph a solution on a coordinate plane?

Back

It means to plot the point that represents the solution of the equations on the x-y axis.

Front

What is the Elimination Method in solving systems of equations?

Back

A method that involves adding or subtracting equations to eliminate one variable, making it easier to solve for the other.

Front

How do you determine if a point is a solution to a system of equations?

Back

Substitute the x and y values of the point into each equation to see if they hold true.

Front

What is the meaning of 'solution' in the context of systems of equations?

Back

A solution is a set of values for the variables that makes all equations in the system true.

Front

What is the significance of the intersection point of two lines on a graph?

Back

It represents the solution to the system of equations formed by those lines.

Front

What is a linear equation?

Back

An equation that makes a straight line when graphed, typically in the form y = mx + b.

Front

What does it mean for two equations to be consistent?

Back

It means that the equations have at least one solution in common.

Front

What is a dependent system of equations?

Back

A system where the equations represent the same line, resulting in infinitely many solutions.

Front

What is an independent system of equations?

Back

A system where the equations represent different lines, resulting in exactly one solution.
