Solution(s) to a system: is ordered pair(s) of numbers that satisfy both equations (is a
solution for both equations).
Example: For the following 2 equations point (2, 3) is a solution for the system.
4) Check to make sure the solutions are correct by substituting them back into the
equations/inequalities and solving.
Reminders for Graphing:
A) Linear Equations: y = mx + b
Plot your y-intercept (b) first on the y axis.
Use your slope (m) to plot more points on the graph. Remember slope is a
ratio, where the top number is your vertical move and your bottom number if
you horizontal move.
B) Linear Inequalities: y mx + b
Plot your line just as you would for a linear equation, with the following added
pieces.
1) Dashed Line if the symbols are or .
2) Solid Line if the symbols are or .
3) Shade “below the line if the symbols are or .
4) Shade “above” the line if the symbols are or .
5) If you do not know whether to shade above or below the line using the
symbols, use a “test point” to make your decision before shading.
The only thing you will not be able to get from the graphing
calculator is the shading for the inequalities. Although, this is an
APP for for shading, it is NOT ALLOWED on the regents exam.
