The two equations are simply the same line when you graph them (ie one lies on top of the other). So the two equations intersect at an infinite number of points. This means that there are an infinite number of solutions.


So the system is consistent (because a solution, at least one solution, exists)


and the equations are dependent (because one equation is really based on the other, and vice versa), which tells us that one equation "depends" on the other (and vice versa)
