How to solve a system of equations by graphing

The video tutorial explains how to solve a system of equations by graphing. It covers two main methods: using the slope-intercept form and finding the X and Y intercepts. The instructor demonstrates how to convert equations into the slope-intercept form and graph them, as well as how to find intercepts and connect them to form a graph. The tutorial includes a sketching exercise to approximate solutions and highlights the importance of using graph paper for accuracy. The video concludes with a summary of the methods and a rough estimation of the intersection point.

What are the two methods mentioned for graphing a system of equations?

• Using the quadratic formula and completing the square

• Using the slope-intercept form and finding intercepts

• Using substitution and elimination

• Using matrices and determinants

How do you convert an equation to the slope-intercept form?

• Divide both sides by the x-term

• Add the x-term to both sides

• Multiply both sides by the y-term

• Subtract the x-term from both sides and solve for y

What is the x-intercept of the equation 2x - 5y = 10?

• x = 5

• x = 2

• x = 0

• x = 10

When graphing, what does the slope represent?

• The point where the graph crosses the y-axis

• The distance between two points on the graph

• The steepness and direction of the line

• The point where the graph crosses the x-axis

What is the approximate intersection point of the graphs in the example?

• (0, 15)

• (5, -2)

• (6, 1)

• (3, 0)
