Answer:

Inconsistent.

Explanation:

y = -x-1

3y = -3x+2

Divide this equation by 3

3y/3 = -3x/3 +2/3

y = -x+2/3

These two equations have the same slope of -1

That means they are parallel. They have different y intercepts. Parallel lines with different y intercepts never intersect. That means there are no solutions. The lines are inconsistent
