7. Unlocking of Difficulties
A system of linear equations is two or more linear
equations whose solution we are trying to find.
A solution to a system of linear equations in two
variables is the ordered pair (𝑥, 𝑦)that satisfies all
equations in the system. The solution to the above
system is (1, – 2).
Standard Form:
4𝑥 − 𝑦 = 6
2𝑥 + 𝑦 = 0
Slope-Intercept Form:
𝑦 = 4𝑥 − 6
𝑦 = −2𝑥

16 = 8 + 8
16 = 16
(-4,16) is a

Determine if (– 4, 16) is a solution to the
system of equations.

19. Solving a System of Linear Equations in Two
Variables by Graphing
There are four steps to solving a linear system using a graph:
Step 1: Put both equations in
slope-intercept form.
Step 2: Graph both equations
on the same coordinate plane.
Step 3: Look for the point
of intersection.
Step 4: Check to make sure your
solution makes both equations
true.
Solve both equations for y, so
that each equation looks like
𝑦 = 𝑚𝑥 + 𝑏.
Use the slope and 𝑦-intercept for
each equation in step 1.
This ordered pair that
corresponds to the point of
intersection is the solution.
Substitute the 𝑥 and 𝑦 values
into both equations to verify
the point is a solution to both
equations.
