Graphing and Solving Systems of Equations

The video tutorial explains how to solve a system of equations by graphing. It begins with graphing a downward opening parabola and a linear equation. The tutorial then identifies the points of intersection between the two graphs, verifying the solutions algebraically. Key points include understanding the nature of quadratic and linear equations, graphing techniques, and finding intersections.

What type of graph is formed by a quadratic equation?

• A parabola

• A circle

• An ellipse

• A straight line
