Graphing 2 - Ordered Pairs as Solutions to Equations
In this lesson, we learn about linear equations in two variables, and how any ordered pair that makes the equation true is a solution. We go through examples of finding ordered pairs that satisfy the equation, and then graphing these ordered pairs on a graph to represent all the solutions to the equation. We also learn how to determine if a given ordered pair is a solution to an equation, which is useful for checking our work when graphing the solutions.
Covers how to determine is a given ordered pair is a solution to an equation and therefore a point on the line. Also shows how to find ordered pair solutions to a linear equation. This is part 2 of a series of videos about graphing lines.

Staff Review
This video gets into graphing linear equations with two variables by plotting solution points and connecting them. The idea of an ordered pair being one of infinitely many solutions to an equation is explained, and this idea is used to graph equations. -
