Algebra 1 · Systems of Equations & Inequalities
Definition
Solving by graphing means graphing each equation and locating the intersection as the solution.
Teach it
Where it is taught, with guided notes, practice, homework, an exit ticket and an interactive Teacher Deck.
Examples
- y = x + 1 and y = −x + 5 meet at (2, 3).
- Graph both lines and read where they cross.
Key rule
The intersection point is the solution to the system.
Memory hook
Graph both, the crossing point is the answer.
