Lesson Summary:
In this lesson, you will learn how to solve systems of linear functions through graphing and finding their intersection. By using slope and the y-intercept, the process of graphing two given equations f(x) and g(x) is demonstrated, with their intersection representing the solution to the system of equations. Rise over run is used to find the second point on the line when the slope is 1, while the y-intercept is used to determine where to start graphing. The lesson concludes with the point of intersection between the two lines being identified as the solution to the system.

Staff Review
This lesson shows an example problem for graphing a system of functions and finding where the two lines intersect. You will learn to find the slope and y-intercept of functions in slope-intercept form, how to graph the lines, and how to solve the system of equations by finding the intersection of the lines.
