Please make certain you understand the meaning of the word "inconsistent."
Then look for an example of a system of inconsistent equations.

*two

"Incosistent" does mean that they are parallel lines ^^....

Now the characteristics of parallel lines is that they both will never touch  each other and have the same slope.... so with that said what is the slope of the other equation?

um im not so sure

563blackghost · Answer

true

563blackghost · Answer

So the missing slope is 2/3 as well

theedwardsfamily · Answer

so it would be 2/3x

563blackghost · Answer

correct ^^

theedwardsfamily · Answer

thank u

mathmale · Answer

The slope is 2/3.  that becomes part of y=(2/3)x + d.

2/3x is incorrect (ambiguuous).

563blackghost · Answer

Yes it would be $$\frac{ 2 }{ 3 }x$$
