Graph a System of Linear Equations

(9) Expressions, equations, and relationships. The student applies mathematical process standards to use multiple representations to develop foundational concepts of simultaneous linear equations. The student is expected to identify and verify the values of x and y that simultaneously satisfy two linear equations in the form y = mx + b from the intersections of the graphed equations.

(Y8) Solve linear equations using algebraic and graphical techniques. Verify solutions by substitution (ACMNA194)

(Y10) Solve linear simultaneous equations, using algebraic and graphical techniques, including using digital technology (ACMNA237)

8.EE.8 Analyze and solve pairs of simultaneous linear equations.

8.EE.8.A Understand that solutions to a system of two linear equations in two variables correspond to points of intersection of their graphs, because points of intersection satisfy both equations simultaneously.

8.EE.8.B Solve systems of two linear equations in two variables algebraically, and estimate solutions by graphing the equations. Solve simple cases by inspection. For example, 3x + 2y = 5 and 3x + 2y = 6 have no solution because 3x + 2y cannot simultaneously be 5 and 6.
