The solution to this system could possibly have this meaning.
How would you locate the solution of the two linear graphs on the coordinate plane?
How could you get exactly two or three solutions to this linear system?
Answers:
From the origin, find the y-intercepts and subtract them
Curving the lines around so that they cross multiple times
The point where the lines cross the y-axis after 3 weeks
Find the point where the two lines cross; (3,9)
Making the lines parallel to each other
The point where the 9-foot plant stopped growing for 3 weeks
No way to have 2 linear graphs with 2 or 3 intersecting points
The point showing after 3 weeks, the plant was 9 feet tall
