Graphing a System of Equations
7.1
Given two equations, the solution is the point that satisfies both.
Graphing is the first way we will learn to solve a system of equations.
Example:
Find the solution to the
following system of
equations by graphing
them.

You can make comparisons by graphing equations.
Practice:
Compare three towing companies by writing an equation and graphing the
charge of a tow based on the number of miles you need to be taken.
Auto Shop towing:
$15 to come pick you up, $.50 a mile for the tow.
Benny’s wrecker service:
$10 to come pick you up, $.75 a mile for the tow.
Cary Automotive:
6 miles cost $10, 12 miles costs $19 (begin in point-slope, change to slope-
intercept form)
Answer:
After how many miles are A and B the same price?
After how many miles are B and C the same price?
After how many miles are A and C the same price?
For what mileage is A the best deal?
For what mileage is B the best deal?
For what mileage is C the best deal?

Graph each pair of equations below to
answer the questions that follow:
1. The Yellow Cab Company charges just $0.25 a mile, but it costs $5 to get in
the cab. Express Cab charges no fee to get in the cab, but $1.50 a mile
for the ride.
a. If you are going 7 miles, which cab company should you call?
b. If you are going 3 miles, which company should you call?
c. For what length of drive is the cost equal?
2. Ashley and Emma are reading the same article. Ashley is on page 1 of the
article, but she can read a page every minute. Emma is already on page
5, but reads a page every three minutes.
a. What page is Ashley on after 5 minutes?
b. What equation could be used to represent the amount Emma has read?
c. How many minutes does it take before Ashley and Emma have read the
same amount?
3. David and James are at the Famous Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Champion-
ships of the world in New York on the 4
th
of July. David was late starting,
so James already had 6 hot dogs before David started eating. Form then
on, James ate a hot dog every two minutes while David stuffed 1¼ hot
dogs a minute.
a. What equations could you use to compare David and James’ hot dog
eating?
b. Between David and James, who would win the contest if it lasts 12 minutes?
c. How many minutes does it take David to catch up with James?

Santa’s Elves 7.6
Name________________________ Period _____
Santa’s elves are hard at work, and December is of course their busiest month. Four of
Santa’s elves are competing for the ‘elf of the year’ award, which is given to the elf who
has the most completed toys by Christmas Eve.
Write an equation to represent each Elf below. Graph the equation for each elf on the
back of this sheet and answer the questions that follow.
Alex ‘slow and steady’ McElf
Had 13 toys made to begin the month, and makes one new toy every four days.
Equation: _______________
Bob ‘the procrastinator’ Elfington
After 3 days had only four toys made, but after nine days had ten toys made.
Equation: Point-Slope_______________ Slope-Intercept _______________
Cramden ‘up all night’ Elfman
Works 24 hours, all day and night, and manages to make one toy every 36 hours. He began the
month in third place with 8 toys made. (Think about the slope!)
Equation: _______________
Duke ‘the maniac’ S’elfish
Started the month with the most toys made (17), but the evil elf has been smuggling them out of the
shop to sell on Ebay at a rate of one every three days. (He has a negative slope).
Equation: _______________
1. On which days is Cramden in the lead, or tied for the lead?
________________________
2. On what days is Alex in the lead or tied for the lead?
________________________
3. When are Bob and Cramden tied?

When solving a system using substitution, you sometimes arrive at a ‘dead end’.
Examples of ‘No Solution’: 3=2 or 5=0
If you get to x=3x, this does NOT mean there is no solution. What value works
in this case for x?
Examples of ‘Infinite Solutions’ (Identities): 3=3 or 2x=2x or x-3=x-3
Practice:
Solve each system using substition. Write No Solution or Infinite Solutions
where applicable.

Start:
1. Turn on your calculator and clear the memory.
Hit 2nd then hit the + symbol and follow the menus to RESET all RAM.
(This varies by calculator)
2. Darken or lighten the screen as necessary by hitting 2nd and using the up arrow/down arrow.
Now lets graph some lines.
Find the graph button just below the screen. Push it.
Touch the arow keys. A cursor should appear. You can move it around the screen.
To graph an equation, you need to enter it into your calculator.
y= : Hit the y= button at the top left.
This is where you will enter equations to be graphed.
Enter the three equations written on the board and hit GRAPH again (I will help explain entering the

Can you tell which graph is which? Sketch and label the three equations onto the graph below.
TRACE : Hit the trace button.
Use the left and right arrows to trace along one of the lines.
Use the up and down arrows to switch between lines. The equations should show at the top of the
screen as you switch between lines.
Trace until you reach an intersection between lines Y1 and Y2. Can you find the exact point of inter-
section?
CALC : Above the trace button, you will find the word CALC. Hit 2nd then TRACE to get to the CALC
menu.
Choose 5: Intersect
Following the prompts at the bottom of the screen, select lines Y1 (ENTER) and Y2 (ENTER), then
move the cursor close to the intersection point when it asks for a guess and hit ENTER again.
(you do not really need to get that close). Where do lines Y1 and Y2 intersect?
If you mess up the graph, hit
ZOOM then 6: Standard to
get back to the regular graph
setup. We will learn more about
ZOOMing later.
