Begin by graphing both equations, as shown at the right. From the graph, the lines appear to intersect at (3, – 4). You can check this algebraically as follows. EXAMPLE 1 Solve a system graphically Graph the linear system and estimate the solution. Then check the solution algebraically. 4x + y = 8 Equation 1 2x – 3y = 18 Equation 2 SOLUTION

3. 8x – y = 8 3x + 2y = – 16 Begin by graphing both equations, as shown at the right. From the graph, the lines appear to intersect at (0, –8). You can check this algebraically as follows. for Example 1 GUIDED PRACTICE Graph the linear system and estimate the solution. Then check the solution algebraically. 8x – y = 8 Equation 1 3x + 2y = – 16 Equation 2 SOLUTION

The graphs of the equations are the same line. So, each point on the line is a solution, and the system has infinitely many solutions. Therefore, the system is consistent and dependent. EXAMPLE 2 Solve a system with many solutions Solve the system. Then classify the system as consistent and independent,consistent and dependent, or inconsistent. 4x – 3y = 8 Equation 1 8x – 6y = 16 Equation 2 SOLUTION
The graphs of the equations are two parallel lines.Because the two lines have no point of intersection, the system has no solution. Therefore, the system is inconsistent. EXAMPLE 3 Solve a system with no solution Solve the system. Then classify the system as consistent and independent,consistent and dependent, or inconsistent. Equation 1 2x + y = 4 Equation 2 2x + y = 1 SOLUTION

50= 20+ 30 50= 2.5(20) The total costs are equal after 20 rides. ANSWER The correct answer is B. EXAMPLE 4 Standardized Test Practice Notice that you need to graph the equations only in the first quadrant because only nonnegative values of xand ymake sense in this situation. The lines appear to intersect at about the point (20, 50). You can check this algebraically as follows. Equation 1 checks. Equation 2 checks.
