Solving Systems of Linear Equations by Graphing

This video tutorial covers solving systems of linear equations by graphing. It begins with an introduction to the concept of systems of equations, followed by a detailed explanation of how to graph a single line using slope and y-intercept. The tutorial then demonstrates how to graph two equations on the same coordinate grid to find their intersection point, which is the solution to the system. Several example problems are provided to illustrate the process. The video concludes with a discussion of special cases, such as when lines overlap or are parallel, resulting in all solutions or no solutions.
