Matrix methods can be used to solve sets of linear equations. For a set of linear equations in two unknowns, solutions can be seen as the points of intersection of lines drawn in two dimensions. For linear equations in three unknowns, solutions can be seen as the points of intersection of planes drawn in three dimensions.
