  1. 2. Lines two lines that intersect at a right angle (90 degrees)
  2. 3. Method used to solve a system of equations by graphing each equation on the coordinate plane and identifying the point(s) where the graphs intersect, if they intersect; These points of intersection represent the solutions to the system of equations
  3. 5. the point where a graph intersects the y-axis. It is the value of y when x is equal to zero (0, y)
  4. 7. a numerical or constant factor that is multiplied by a variable in an expression or equation
  5. 10. Method used to solve a system of equations by eliminating one of the variables to obtain a new equation with only one variable
  6. 11. of a System the ordered pair that makes all of the equations in a system true
  7. 12. Solution the system of equations intersect at a single point, resulting in exactly one ordered pair that satisfies all of the equations in the system; the lines will have different slopes

  1. 1. the point where a graph intersects the x-axis. It is the value of x when y is equal to zero (x, 0)
  2. 4. Method used to find the solution(s) to a system of equations by solving one equation for one variable and then substituting that expression into the other equation(s)
  3. 6. Lines lines in a plane that never intersect, no matter how far they are extended in either direction
  4. 8. Solutions the system of equations represent identical lines resulting in an unlimited number of solutions; the lines will have the same slope and y-intercept
  5. 9. a symbol or letter representing an unknown quantity
  6. 11. of Equations two or more linear equations that are solved simultaneously to find the values of the variables that satisfy all the equations in the system
  7. 13. Solutions the system of equations do not intersect at any point resulting in parallel lines; there are no values that satisfy the system of equations; the lines will have the same slope but different y-intercepts
