Front

How do you graph a linear equation?

Back

You can graph a linear equation by finding two or more points that satisfy the equation and connecting them with a straight line.

Front

What is the slope-intercept form of a linear equation?

Back

The slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Front

How can you determine if a point is a solution to a system of equations?

Back

Substitute the point's coordinates into each equation; if it satisfies all equations, it is a solution.

Front

What does it mean if two lines are parallel when graphing a system of equations?

Back

It means the system has no solution because the lines never intersect.

What does it mean if two lines are coincident when graphing a system of equations?

Back

It means the system has infinitely many solutions because the lines overlap.
