Lesson Summary:
In part 3 of solving linear systems of equations with two variables, students learn how to solve systems of equations by graphing. This method involves graphing two linear equations on the same graph and finding their intersection. There are three possibilities for the intersection of the lines: they intersect at one point, they are parallel (meaning no solution), or they are the same line (meaning infinitely many solutions). Through an example problem, students learn how to graph two lines and find their point of intersection to solve the system.

Staff Review
This is a very complete overview of solving systems of equations by graphing. Every scenario is explained, and the concept of finding the intersection point of lines is explained. An example problem is also shown in this lesson. This would be a perfect introduction to solving systems of equations using the graphing method.
