The document is a lesson plan on using the comparison method to find the point of intersection between two linear equations. It begins with an agenda and warm up problem. It then introduces the comparison method as a way to solve systems of equations by isolating the variable in each equation, making the equations equal to each other, solving for the remaining variable, and substituting back into the original equation. Several examples demonstrate how to use the comparison method to find the point of intersection. The lesson concludes with practice problems for students.

Warm­Up:
Find the point of intersection of the following two linear functions 
using a data table and/or graph. 

y=x+1 and y=2x­3

When given a system of equations, the solution will be the common 
point between the two equations (the point of intersection) 

While we can solve this by graphing or by using a table of values, 
they can take longer and sometimes lead to inaccurate answers

The comparison method: 

Steps: 
1­ Isolate the variable in each equation
2­ Make the two equations equal to each other
3­ Solve for the remaining variable
4­ Substitute that answer into the original equation to find the other variable
