For the graph shown, select the statement that best represents the given system of equations. 5y – 7x = 10 3y + 4x = 6 A. not enough information B. coincident C. consistent and independent D. inconsistent

OpenStudy (brucebaner):

i think its c

OpenStudy (brucebaner):

@KamiBug

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Can you explain how you got C?

OpenStudy (brucebaner):

because The equation has only one solution because they cut each other only once and the are independent ..as both line are different. So it would be (c) consistent and independent

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Correct. Would you have been able to arrive at the same conclusion if the graphs were not given?

OpenStudy (brucebaner):

yes

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Very well. You may find that later on, you will be given two equations and you will be required to make similar conclusions without graphs given. Good job!

OpenStudy (brucebaner):

so its i C

OpenStudy (brucebaner):

so its C @mathmate

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Yes, C it is. You have correctly identified the correct answer choice and explained how you got it.
