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

Back

Substitute the point's coordinates into each equation. If both equations are satisfied, the point is a solution.

Front

What does it mean if a system of equations is inconsistent?

Back

It means there is no solution; the lines represented by the equations do not intersect.

Front

What does it mean if a system of equations has infinitely many solutions?

Back

It means the equations represent the same line, and every point on that line is a solution.

What is the elimination method in solving systems of equations?

Back

A method where you add or subtract equations to eliminate one variable, making it easier to solve for the other.
