Question

The point(0,2) Is the only solution to the system of linear equations that contains the equations Y = 1/2 X +2 and y =-3X +2. Choose the term that describes a set of equations

a)dependent equations

b) inconsistent equations

C)independent equations

D) cannot be determined

Answer 1

independent equations

Choice C is correct

Explanation:

The system of linear equations that contains the equations;

Y = 1/2 X +2 and y =-3X +2 is said to be consistent since it has at least one solution;

The point (0,2)

If a consistent system of equations has exactly one solution, it is said to be independent.
