Solving Systems of Equations by Graphing

The video tutorial covers lesson 5.1 on solving systems of equations by graphing. It begins with an introduction to systems of equations, defining them as two or more equations with the same variables. The tutorial explains graphical solutions, focusing on intersection points, and describes three possible outcomes: one solution, no solution, and infinite solutions. The lesson outlines steps to solve systems by graphing, including rewriting equations in slope-intercept form, graphing the lines, and identifying solutions. Several example problems are worked through to demonstrate these concepts.

What is a system of equations?

• A single equation with multiple variables

• Two or more equations with the same variables

• Two or more equations with different variables

• A single equation with one variable
