How do you graph a linear equation?

Back

To graph a linear equation, find at least two points that satisfy the equation and connect them with a straight line.

Front

What is the substitution method in solving systems of equations?

Back

The substitution method involves solving one equation for one variable and substituting that expression into the other equation.

What is a linear inequality?

Back

A linear inequality is similar to a linear equation but uses inequality signs (>, <, ≥, ≤) instead of an equal sign.
