Answer 1

Are you able to graph these 2 equations?

Answer 2

yes]

Answer 3

do these 2 lines intersect at one point?

Answer 4

or are they parallel?

Answer 5

idk

Answer 6

go ahead and graph them and tell me what you get

Answer 7

ok

Answer 8

they intersect

Answer 9

good, they intersect exactly once

Answer 10

so that makes them consistent and independent

Answer 11

if they were parallel, then they'd be inconsistent

Answer 12

okay thank you

Answer 13

if they were the same line, then it'd be dependent and consistent

Answer 14

you're welcome
