To find the solution to a system of equations graphically, follow these steps:
1. Graph each equation on the same coordinate plane. Use different colors or line styles to distinguish between the graphs of the different equations.
2. Identify the point(s) where the graphs intersect. These are the solutions to the system of equations.
3. If the graphs do not intersect or there is no common point of intersection, then there is no solution to the system of equations.
Note: If the lines are parallel, they will never intersect and the system of equations will have no solution. If the lines are the same, they will intersect at every point along the line and the system of equations will have an infinite number of solutions.
