Question

please help!

The following system of equations is _____.

y = -x +
2x + 6y = 4


independent
equivalent
inconsistent

Answer 1

there is a term missing form your first equation

Answer 2

y= -x + ??? there is a missing term.....

Answer 3

sorry! its -1/3x+2/3!

Answer 4

ok, if you reduce your second equation, it becomes
x +3y= 2, and making y SOF, it becomes

y= 2/3 -x/3 which is the same as the first equation

y= -1/3x +2/3.

If this is the case, then the system is consistent, because we can find at least one set of solution, but not independent because if you draw the graph , the two lines are cincidental, not distict and intersecting
