Solving Linear Systems by Graphing, Systems of Equations

Introduce the inverse matrix method to solve systems of linear equations both algebraically and graphically. Using given data, your class checks their answers with graphing calculators. Handouts are included in this well-thought out lesson.

There are many equations Algebra I students are not ready to solve. Graphing to solve gives them a strategy to use when they are unsure of an algebraic approach to solve the problem. The lesson exposes learners to a wide variety of...

One thing that puzzles a lot of young algebrists is the factors in a word problem that are taken as "understood". This presentation on solving systems of linear inequalities does a great job walking the learner through how to tease those...

Solving systems of equations underpins much of advanced algebra, especially linear algebra. Developing an intuition for the kinds and descriptions of solutions is key for success in those later courses. This intuition is exactly what...

Determine a solution through accurate graphs. Using 2 examples, the narrator walks viewers through the steps to graph a system of linear equations to find the solution. 

Not all systems have a single solution. To begin the video, the narrator reviews the different number of solutions possible with a system of linear equations. He continues with examples of solving systems of equations by graphing. Unlike...

Picture the solution. The Mathispower4u Algebra I video uses three examples of finding the solution of a system of linear equations given as a graph. Pupils use their knowledge of linear graphs to also identify the equations for the...

Uncover a process for graphing a linear equation in slope-intercept form with a video that describes how to determine the slope and y-intercept from the equation of a line. It then shows how to transfer those values to a graph...

Systematically check a solution in a system. Given a point and a system, the presenter checks to see if the point is a solution to the system. Pupils understand what it means to be a solution to a system. The video shows both...

In a system of linear equations, the solution must satisfy each of the equations to be true. Thus, in a system of linear inequalities, the solution must satisfy each of the inequalities to be true. This is a short video that defines what...
