Solving Simultaneous Equations Graphically – Jigsaws

There are 6 jigsaws to complete, each with four pieces. The pieces for each jigsaw show:
1. a pair of equations;

2. a graph of both equations;

3. a solution for x;

4. a solution for y.

Match the solutions for x and y to the equations and graph to complete each jigsaw.

Example

y = 2x
x=1
y=x+1

5 y

-5 0

y=x–6 y = -x – 4 y = -x
y = -2x y = 2x + 2 4 – x – 2y = 0

y = 3x + 1 y = 2x – 5 3x + y = 8
y=x+3 y=x x+y=4
