Graphing Organizer for solving Linear Equations: Flow Chart

Step 2: Rewrite Equations: Rewrite the

equation(s) in 𝒚 = 𝒎𝒙 + 𝒃 form
Step 1:Here are the following
Linear Equations: 5𝑥 − 𝑦 = 6
5𝑥 − 𝑦 = 6 No −𝑦
=
−5𝑥
+ + −1
6
𝑦 = −2𝑥 + 8 −1 −1
Are both equations in y=mx +b 𝑦 = 5𝑥 − 6
form?

Step 4: Find the point of intersection and

explain why

yes
(2 , 4)
The point of intersection is where the
Step 3: Graph Both Equations: linear equations in the graph intersect
(or meet).

Step 5: Check the solution

𝟓𝒙 − 𝒚 = 𝟔 𝑦 = −2𝑥 + 8
𝟓(𝟐) – 𝟒 = 𝟔 4 = −2(2) + 8
𝟏𝟎 − 𝟒 = 𝟔 4 = −4 + 8
𝟔=𝟔 4 = 4
Written Explanation: Since the ordered pairs
holds true in the equations, (2,4) is the solution
of the of the linear equations.
