What is a system of equations?

Back

A set of two or more equations with the same variables.

Front

What does it mean for a system of equations to have no solution?

Back

It means the lines represented by the equations are parallel and never intersect.

Front

What does it mean for a system of equations to have one solution?

Back

It means the lines represented by the equations intersect at exactly one point.

Front

What does it mean for a system of equations to have infinitely many solutions?

Back

It means the lines represented by the equations are the same line, overlapping each other.

Front

How can you determine if an ordered pair is a solution to a system of equations?

Back

Substitute the values of the ordered pair into both equations. If both equations are true, it is a solution.

Front

What is the graphical representation of a system of equations?

Back

It is represented by the graphs of the equations on the same coordinate plane.

Front

What is the significance of the point of intersection in a system of equations?

Back

The point of intersection represents the solution to the system of equations.

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 of a line?

Back

The slope is a measure of the steepness of a line, calculated as the rise over run between two points.

Front

What is the y-intercept of a line?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis, represented as (0, b) in the equation y = mx + b.
