How to solve systems of equations by graphing

In order to solve system by graphing, you first need to write each equation in slope-intercept form or y = mx + b form.

In this form, y is isolated on the left side of the equation.

In some problems, this will already be done for you.

After that, graph both lines on a coordinate system.

What you are looking for is the point where the lines intersect.

That point will represent the x and y that is the solution.

Feel free to plot many points along the line.
