So what do you think the answer is? @hyesukm52

anonymous · Answer

ummm i got the same answer for both

anonymous · Answer

would it be this?? inconsistent; none

@iGreen

igreen · Answer

No, actually if it were inconsistent, the lines would be parallel and there would be no solutions, but here the two lines are the same.

So what do you think the answer is?

anonymous · Answer

ohhhhh wait consistent, dependent; infinite???

igreen · Answer

Yep, you got it!

thank you sooo much :D
