How do you check if an ordered pair is a solution to a system of equations?

Back

Substitute the values of the ordered pair into both equations to see if they hold true.

Front

What is slope-intercept form?

Back

A way of writing linear equations in the form y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
