Illustrating Systems of Linear Equations in Two Variables

This video tutorial introduces systems of linear equations in two variables, explaining how to write and graph them. It covers the types of solutions such as intersecting, coinciding, and parallel lines, and how to determine the nature of a system by analyzing graphs. The video concludes with practice questions to reinforce understanding.

What is a linear equation in two variables?

• An equation that can be written in the form ax + by = c where a, b, and c are real numbers and a and b are not zero.

• An equation that can be written in the form ax^2 + by = c where a, b, and c are real numbers.

• An equation that can be written in the form ax + by = c where a, b, and c are integers.

• An equation that can be written in the form ax + by = c where a and b are zero.
