Solving systems of linear equations by graphing
In order to determine the number of solutions to a system of linear equations, other than by finding the slope of the lines, we can also graph the equations out and look for the intersection of the lines.
Basic Concepts: Slope equation: m=x2−x1y2−y1, Slope intercept form: y = mx + b, Graphing linear functions using various forms, Determining number of solutions to linear equations
Related Concepts: System of linear equations, System of linear-quadratic equations, Graphing systems of linear inequalities, Graphing systems of quadratic inequalities

One Solution: Two linear equations intersect at one point. It is a consistent system of independent equation.
No Solution:Two linear equations are parallel to each other. It is an inconsistent system.
Infinite Solution:

- 1.Graph the following linear equations and find the point of intersection. State the consistency.a)2x - y = - 9
x + 3y = 6b)2x + 2y = 8
3x - y = 0c)4x + 6y = 12
2x + 3y = 9d)y - x = 2
4y - 8 = 4x
