Use the drop-down menus to complete the statements below to answer this question: Can you determine whether a system of linear equations has a solution just by looking at the graph of the equations? CLEAR CHECK The coordinates of a point satisfy the equation of a line if the point is . If a single point satisfies the equations of two lines, the point is , so the lines will at that point. This means that each point where the two lines is a to the system of equations. This means that if you substitute the x - and y -values of the point for x and y in the equations, both equations will be .

Yes, one can determine whether a system of linear equations has a solution just by looking at the graph of the equations

The coordinates of a point satisfy the equation of a line if the point is

On the line

If a single point satisfies the equations of two lines, the point is at the intersection of the two lines, so the lines will at that point.

This means that, each point where the two lines meet is a solution to the system of equations.

This means that if you substitute the x- and y-values of the point for x and y in the equations, both equations will be Satisfied

How to determine the solution of a graph

The solution of a graph depends on the type of graph and most times points of intersection with another graph or the x-axis (for polynomials) is the solution
