Solving Systems by Graphing
Students graph two lines, find and check where they cross, and tell one, no or infinitely many solutions apart.
When both equations are solved for y, students set them equal, solve for x, then find y.

Students graph two lines, find and check where they cross, and tell one, no or infinitely many solutions apart.

Students substitute one equation into the other, distribute, combine like terms, and solve for both variables.

Students add or subtract to eliminate a variable, then multiply one or both equations to make opposites.

Students solve equations and systems that are always, never or once true, and see what that means for the lines.

Students turn two pricing plans into equations, graph them, and find when the costs match and which deal is better.
