For the graph shown, select the statement that best represents the given system of equations. 5y – 7x = 10 3y + 4x = 6 Number graph that ranges from negative seven to eight on the x and y axes. A line passes through (zero, two) and (three, negative two). A second line passes through (zero, two) and (negative three, negative two). A. not enough information B. coincident C. consistent and independent D. inconsistent

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can someone help me

OpenStudy (danjs):

do you know what each answer means?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (danjs):

it has to do with the number of solutions (one, zero, infinity)

OpenStudy (danjs):

consistant- has solutions, one (lines intersect at one point , dependent) or infinity (2 equations same line overlapping, independent) inconsistent - no solutions, parallel lines

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wat u make no sense

OpenStudy (danjs):

here are pictures http://hotmath.com/hotmath_help/topics/consistent-and-dependent-systems.html since they graphed them for you, you dont even have to solve the system for x and y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so the answer would be c right

OpenStudy (airjordan200):

basicly i guess

OpenStudy (danjs):

C means it has a solution , and crosses once,

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the reason i am telling u to hurry is cuz then i will get logged out and start all over again

OpenStudy (danjs):

B means same line written twice as a multiple of each other D means parallel lines

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what is it smarty pants

OpenStudy (danjs):

looks like they cross once , so C is right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i said that

OpenStudy (danjs):

right
