    Study Notes

    Systems of Equations

    • The point of intersection represents the solution to a system of equations, where both equations are satisfied.

    Conditions for Infinite Solutions

    • A system of equations can have infinitely many solutions when the two equations are identical.

    Elimination Method

    • The elimination method is used to find the point of intersection of two linear equations by canceling out one variable.

    Example of Point of Intersection

    • The point of intersection of the linear equations y = -9x + 7 and y = 3x - 4 can be found by solving the system of equations.

    Parallel Lines

    • When two linear equations have the same slope but different y-intercepts, they are parallel lines and have no point of intersection.

    Substitution Method

    • The substitution method uses the slope-intercept form (y = mx + b) of the equation.

    Solution to a System of Equations

    • The solution to a system of equations is the point of intersection, where both equations are satisfied.

    Infinite Solutions

    • A system of equations will have infinite solutions when the two equations are identical.

    Graphical Representation

    • The number of solutions can be determined using a graph by looking at the number of points of intersection between the two lines.
