Understanding Linear Equations and Graphs

The video tutorial explains consistent and independent systems of equations. It demonstrates how to convert equations into slope-intercept form, graph them on a coordinate plane, and analyze the graphs to find the intersection point. The solution is verified by substituting the intersection point back into the original equations, confirming the system is consistent and independent.
