Battle on the High Seas: Applying Systems of Linear Equations

This lesson is designed to introduce solving systems of linear equations in two variables by graphing. Students will find the solutions of systems of linear equations in two variables by graphing "paths" of battleships and paths of launched torpedoes targeting them. The solutions of the systems will represent the intersection of the paths of a targeted ship (modeled by a linear equation) and the path of a torpedo from a battleship (modeled by another linear equation).
