Question

( hurry!!) Is the system of equations consistent and independent, consistent and dependent, or inconsistent?

y=3x+4 y=3x+3

Select the correct answer from the drop-down menu.

Answer 1

I think it's the 2nd one B but im not completely sure

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: Inconsistent

Explanation:

y = 3x + 4 → m = 3, b = 4

y = 3x + 3 → m = 3, b = 3

These equations have the same slope but different y-intercepts so they are parallel lines which means they will never intersect.

NOTES

one solution: consistent & independent lines cross

infinite solutions: consistent & dependent same line

no solution: inconsistent parallel lines
