What is a System of Equation?

A SYSTEM OF EQUATIONS is:

A SOLUTION to the SYSTEM OF EQUATIONS is:

A POINT OF INTERSECTION is:

two or more equations with the same variable being compared.

the point that both equations have in common: THE POINT OF INTERSECTION

the point where both lines meet

Write the solution of each system of equation as an

ordered pair.

(4, -3)

(8, -3)

Both systems have only ONE SOLUTION.

Graphing System of Equations

When finding the solution to a system of equation, finding the point of intersection is required.

To do this, the equations must be graphed. Therefore, the equation must be put in SLOPE-INTERCEPT FORM.

𝑦=𝑚𝑥+𝑏

Procedures

Put each equation in Slope-Intercept Form

Identify the slope and y- intercept

c) What do you notice about the equations when they are in slope intercept form AND do you think this has an effect on the solution?

Parallel lines

NO SOLUTIONS

When the equations are in slope-intercept form, you notice the slopes are the same. When the slopes are the same, the lines will be parallel and have solution.

Coinciding lines

Infinite many solutions

When the equations are in slope-intercept form, you notice the equations are the same. When the equations are the same, there are infinite many solutions.

The school is selling tickets to a band concert. On the first day of ticket sales, the school sold 3 adult tickets

and 1 student tickets for a total of $28. The school took in $32 on the second day by selling 3 adult tickets and 2 student tickets. Find the price of a

student ticket and an adult ticket.

You are getting ready to move and have asked some friends to help. For lunch, you buy the following sandwiches at the local deli for $30: six ham sandwiches and six turkey sandwiches.

Later at night, everyone is hungry again and you buy four ham sandwiches and eight turkey sandwiches for $30.60. What is

the price of each sandwich?

The concession stand is selling hot dogs and hamburgers during a game. At halftime, they sold a total of 50 hot dogs and

hamburgers and brought in $105.50. How many of each item did they sell if hamburgers sold for $1.50 and hot dogs sold for

$1.25?
