Question

What is the correct description for the system of linear equations?

y=−2x+5
2x+y=5

a. consistent independent

b. consistent dependent

c. inconsistent

Answer 1

Explanation:

A linear equation is not always in the form y = 4.5 − 0.5x,

It can also be like y = 0.2(7 − x)

Or like y + 0.2x = 4.5

Or like y + 0.2x − 4.5 = 0 and more.
