Solving 2 Variable Systems Graphically

Front

What does it mean for two lines to be parallel in a graph?

Back

Two lines are parallel if they have the same slope and will never intersect.

Front

What is the graphical representation of a system of linear equations?

Back

The graphical representation is the intersection point(s) of the lines representing the equations.

What does it indicate if two lines in a graph intersect at one point?

Back

It indicates that the system of equations has one unique solution.

What does it mean if two lines are coincident?

Back

It means they lie on top of each other, resulting in infinitely many solutions.

How do you find the slope of a line given two points?

Back

The slope (m) is calculated as (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).
