Introduction to Systems of Equations

What is the solution to a system of equations?

• The point where two lines intersect

• The point where two lines diverge

• The midpoint of two lines

• The starting point of a line

In a system of equations, what does the intersection point represent?

• The y-intercept

• The midpoint of the lines

• The solution to both equations

• The slope of the lines

What is the first step when solving a system of equations by graphing?

• Substitute x for y

• Graph the first equation

• Find the slope

• Find the y-intercept

What does it mean if two lines in a system have the same slope and different y-intercepts?

• No solution, because they will always run parallel

• One solution

• Infinite solutions

• Cannot be determined

A customer at a store paid $64 for 3 large candles and 4 small candles. At the same store, a second customer paid $68 for 1 large candle and 8 small candles. The price of each large candle is the same, and the price of each small candle is the same. Which system of equations can be used to find the price in dollars of each large candle, x, and each small candle, y?

• 4y = 3x + 64

  8y = x + 68

• 4y = 3x + 64

  8y = x + 60

• 3x + 4y = 64

  x + 8y = 68

• 3x + 4y = 64

  x + 8y = 60

A customer at a store paid $64 for 3 large candles and 4 small candles. At the same store, a second customer paid $4 more than the first customer for 1 large candle and 8 small candles. The price of each large candle is the same, and the price of each small candle is the same. Which system of equations can be used to find the price in dollars of each large candle, x, and each small candle, y?

• 4y = 3x + 64

  8y = x + 68

• 4y = 3x + 64

  8y = x + 60

• 3x + 4y = 64

  x + 8y = 68

• 3x + 4y = 64

  x + 8y = 60
