Classify a system of equations by graphing

Classify a system of equations by graphing

What you'll learn

  • Identify, with 80% accuracy, whether a system of equations graphed on a coordinate plane is consistent and independent, consistent and dependent, or inconsistent.
  • Graph a system of two linear equations on a coordinate plane, using slope-intercept form, and determine the number of solutions (one, none, or infinite) with 100% accuracy.
  • Explain, in their own words, the relationship between the number of intersection points of two lines on a graph and the number of solutions to the corresponding system of equations.
  • Given a system of equations, predict whether the system will have one, zero, or infinite solutions based on the slopes and y-intercepts of the equations, and then verify the answer by graphing the system.
