there is a term missing form your first equation

anonymous · Answer

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

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

anonymous · Answer

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
