Learn the methods

Before solving the bonus, learn how to construct each graph and what to do at every substitution step.

GRAPHING A LINE

Turn y = mx + b into two points.

y = 2x − 3
Step 1 of 4
Start at the y-intercept: (0, −3).
Graphing answers“Where do both pictures share a point?”
Substitution answers“Which values make both equations true?”
Checking proves“Does this ordered pair work in both originals?”

Predict first:How many real solutions?
01

Construct

Line: plot b, then use rise/run. Parabola: plot the vertex, axis, and symmetric points.

02

Read

Every shared point is a solution. Record both coordinates, not only x.

03

Solve

Set the y-expressions equal, simplify, and solve the resulting quadratic.

04

Finish

Substitute each x back to find y, write ordered pairs, and check both equations.
