 Lesson
Graphs of System of Linear
16 Equations in Two Variables

In the previous lesson, you were able to define, illustrate and relate the system
of linear equations in two variables. What do you think will it look like when we draw
the graph of the system of linear equations?
 What’s In
Let us have a quick review on graphs of linear equations.

Activity 1: Draw Me!

Direction: Draw the graph of each of the following linear equations in a Cartesian
coordinate plane below.

1. y = x + 3 3. y = x - 2

2. 2x – 2y = 4 4. 3x – y = 2

What’s New

Let us have an overview on what would be the graph of system

of linear equations in two variables by performing this activity.

Activity 2: Meet Me Up!

Direction: Use the graphs of linear equations in the previous activity. Group and
meet the graph with respect to their axes. Describe and determine the
point of intersection in the new formed graphs. The first item is done for
you. Write your answer on the space provided.
 3𝑥 − 𝑦 = 2 2.
{
𝑦=𝑥−2

𝑦=𝑥−2
3. {
2𝑥 − 2𝑦 = 4

Question:
1. When two linear equations are graphed on the same coordinate plane, what
graphs are formed?

_____________________________________________________________________
 What is It

Let us learn how to graph systems of linear equations using different methods.
Are you ready? Let us getting started!

There are four methods in graphing the system of linear equations in two
variables namely:
1. Two points
2. X and y – intercepts
3. Slope and y- intercept
4. Slope and a point

Illustrative example 1:

𝑥−𝑦=2
Graph { .
2𝑥 − 2𝑦 = 4

1. Using two points

Assign any two values for x

x-y=2

x -4 0

y -6 -2

2x – 2y = 4

x -3 1

y -5 -1
Remember:

The point of intersection of the graphs of two linear equations is the solution
of the system. The solution set of a system of linear equations is the set of all
ordered pairs of real numbers that make every equation in the system true.

Let us try this!

y = 3x - 2

x 0 2/3

y -2 0

y =x-2

x 0 2

y -2 0
 The graphs
of the system {
are intersecting.
The point of 𝑦 =
𝑥−2
intersection is at
the ordered pair
(0, 2).

Let us try
this!

𝑦=𝑥−

a. Graph the
system {
using x and y
intercepts.
Determine the
point/s of 𝑦 =
𝑦 = 3𝑥 − 2 2𝑥 + 4
intersection.
𝑥−𝑦=4

The graphs of the system { are parallel and do not intersect. 𝑥 − 𝑦 = −2 The
system has no point of intersection.
Let us try this!

2𝑥
−𝑦=8
 𝑦
= 4𝑥 − 1

of linear equations in two variables. Perform the activity below.
