Understanding System of Linear Equations

A system of linear equations is a set of two or more linear equations that are solved together. For two variables (x and y), a linear equation can be written in the form \(ax + by = c\), where a, b, and c are constants. Solving a system of two linear equations means finding the values of x and y that satisfy both equations simultaneously.

This tool uses the matrix method to solve such systems. The equations are represented in matrix form \(AX = B\), where \(A\) is the coefficient matrix, \(X\) is the variable matrix \([x, y]^T\), and \(B\) is the constant matrix. The solution is found by \(X = A^-1B\), where \(A^-1\) is the inverse of matrix \(A\).

To use the solver, enter the coefficients and constants for each equation. Click 'Solve' to find the values of x and y. The visualization shows the two lines represented by the equations and their intersection point, which is the solution.
