³ Try-It!é on Your TI-83 Plus or TI-73
You will:
• Graph two lines of a system of equations.
• Use r to locate the intersection of the lines.
• Use y 0 and y - to locate the exact solution of the system of equations.
Find the solution of the system: Y1 = L4X + 2
Y2 = 2X N 2.5
Notice that these equations are already in the form of y = mx + b. They are in the form to enter
into your calculator.

2. First, enter L4X + 2 as Y1 and
2X N 2.5 as Y2 in the Y= editor.
Note: See ³TIp 3: Graphing a Function in
the Standard Window for more information.

Remember: You have to adjust the viewing
window depending on the system of
equations. You can see the intersection of
the lines in the ZDecimal window for this
example.
