Answer: Inconsistent

Explanation:

y = 3x + 4 โ†’ m = 3, b = 4

y = 3x + 3 โ†’ 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
