State whether the system is consistent or inconsistent. If it is consistent, then state whether the graphs' equations are dependent or independent. State the number of solutions.

If a system has at least one solution, it is said to be consistent . If a consistent system has exactly one solution, it is independent . If a consistent system has an infinite number of solutions, it is dependent . When you graph the equations, both equations represent the same line.
