This video tutorial explains how to determine if a system of two linear equations in two variables has infinitely many solutions by graphing. It reviews the slope-intercept form of an equation, demonstrates how to graph linear equations, and discusses the possible solutions for systems of equations. The tutorial includes examples of converting equations to slope-intercept form and graphing them to analyze their solutions, emphasizing that systems can have one solution, no solution, or infinitely many solutions.
