Solving Systems of Linear Equations by Graphing Check

Front

What does it mean if a system of linear equations has one solution?

Back

The two lines intersect at one point.

Front

What is the solution to the system of equations represented by the point (1, 3)?

Back

The point (1, 3) is where the two lines intersect.

Front

What is the solution to the system of equations represented by the point (-3, -8)?

Back

The point (-3, -8) is where the two lines intersect.

Front

What is the solution to the system of equations represented by the point (2, 3)?

Back

The point (2, 3) is where the two lines intersect.

Front

What is a solution of a linear system?

Back

The point where the graphs intersect.

Front

What does it mean if two lines are parallel in a system of linear equations?

Back

There is no solution; the lines never intersect.

Front

What does it mean if two lines are the same in a system of linear equations?

Back

There are infinitely many solutions; every point on the line is a solution.

Front

How can you determine the solution of a system of linear equations by graphing?

Back

By finding the point where the two lines intersect.

Front

What is the slope of a line?

Back

The slope is the measure of the steepness of the line, calculated as rise over run.

Front

What is the y-intercept of a line?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis.
