Vocabulary



A system of equations is a set of two or more equations containing two or more variables. A linear system is a system of equations containing only linear equations.

Recall that a line is an infinite set of points that are solutions to a linear equation. The solution of a system of equations is the set of all points that satisfy each equation.



On the graph of the system of two equations, the

solution is the set of points where the lines intersect. A

point is a solution to a system of equation if the x- and

y-values of the point satisfy both equations.



Use substitution to determine if the given ordered pair is an element of the solution set for the system of equations.

Example 1A: Verifying Solutions of Linear Systems

(1, 3); x – 3y = –8

3x + 2y = 9

Substitute 1 for x and 3for y in each equation.

Because the point is a solution for both equations, it is a solution of the system.

3x + 2y = 9

3(1) +2(3) 9

x – 3y = –8

(1) –3(3) –8

Recall that you can use graphs or tables to find some of the solutions to a linear equation. You can do the same to find solutions to linear systems.



Use a graph and a table to solve the system. Check your answer.

Example 2A: Solving Linear Systems by Using Graphs and Tables

2x – 3y = 3

y + 2 = x

Solve each equation for y.y= x – 2

y= x – 1



On the graph, the lines appear to intersect at the ordered pair (3, 1)

Example 2A Continued



Make a table of values for each equation. Notice that when x = 3, the y-value for both equations is 1.

The systems of equations in Example 2 have exactly one solution. However, linear systems may also have infinitely many or no solutions. A consistent system is a set of equations or inequalities that has at least one solution, and an inconsistent system will have no solutions.



You can classify linear systems by comparing the slopes and y-intercepts of the equations. An independent system has equations with different slopes. A dependent system has equations with equal slopes and equal y-intercepts.



Classify the system and determine the number of solutions.

Example 3A: Classifying Linear System

x = 2y + 6

3x – 6y = 18

Solve each equation for y.

The system is consistent and dependent with infinitely many solutions.

The equations have the same slope and y-intercept and are graphed as the same line.

y = x – 3

y = x – 3



Classify the system and determine the number of solutions.

Example 3B: Classifying Linear System

4x + y = 1

y + 1 = –4x

Solve each equation for y.

The system is inconsistent and has no solution.

y = –4x + 1

y = –4x – 1

The equations have the same slope but different y-intercepts and are graphed as parallel lines.
