Graph the lines $y=2x−3$ and $y=2x+1$.  

1. Where do they intersect?

   Hint (a):

   Do the lines cross?
   If so, where?

2. Solve this system using the Equal Values Method.

   Step 1(b):

   Set both equations equal to each other.

   $2x−3=2x+1$

   Step 2(b):

   Get all the $x$ terms on one side.

   $0=4$

   Answer (b):

   $0\ne4$, therefore there is no solution.

3. Explain how your graph and algebraic solution relate to each other.

   Hint (c):

   What does your algebraic solution represent on your graph?
