Question

Solve the system of equations by graphing then classify the system as consistent or inconsistent and as dependent or independent

7x - 9y = 18
9y - 7x = -18

I can answer you in a minute    :-)

anonymous · Answer

ok, you need to put EACH equation into slope-intercept form.....gosh this is a perfect example of solving by addtion!

anonymous · Answer

ok, -9y= -7x+18    and 9y = 7x -18
now divide both sides by -9 (first equation) to get y=7/9 x -2
diveide 2nd equ. by a postive 9 tp get y = 7/9 x -2     both are the same.  :-)  so....

anonymous · Answer

graph the first equation  first by location the y-intercept (-2) then graph out the slope 7/9 so from the -2 (or point (0, -2))   go up 7 and to the right 9....make a dot there and connect it to the (0, -2) This is your graph.....

Yes I am following you thank you
I am trying to write everything down.

is the system consistent or inconsistent and dependent or independent?
