Graph a System of Linear and Quadratic Equations

Graphing Systems of Linear and Quadratic Equations

• Similar to solving systems of linear equations, systems involving linear and quadratic equations can be solved by graphing.
• The equations are graphed on the same coordinate plane.
• A system containing one linear equation and one quadratic equation can have:
  • Two solutions
  • Zero solutions
  • One solution
• The number of solutions is determined by the number of intersections between the two graphs.
