Understanding Points of Intersection in Linear Equations

The video tutorial explains how to find the intersection point of two linear equations using two methods: graphing and solving as a system of equations. Initially, the graphical method is introduced, where both equations are plotted to find their intersection. Then, the tutorial demonstrates solving the equations algebraically by substitution to find the intersection point. Finally, the solution is confirmed graphically by converting the equations to slope-intercept form and plotting them to verify the intersection point.
