Front

What is the point of intersection in a system of equations?

Back

The point where the graphs of the equations meet, representing the solution.

Front

How can you determine if a system of equations has no solution?

Back

If the lines are parallel and never intersect.

Front

What is a unique solution in a system of equations?

Back

When the lines intersect at exactly one point.

Front

What is an infinite number of solutions in a system of equations?

Back

When the equations represent the same line.

Front

How do you solve a linear equation?

Back

Isolate the variable on one side of the equation.
