Q. Which describes the system of equations below?y=71x−10y=71x−10Choices:[A]consistent and independent[B]consistent and dependent[C]inconsistent
Check Slopes Equal: Check if the slopes of both equations are the same.Slope of first equation: 71.Slope of second equation: 71.Both slopes are equal.
Check Y-Intercepts Equal: Check if the y-intercepts of both equations are the same.y-intercept of first equation: −10.y-intercept of second equation: −10. Both y-intercepts are equal.
Lines are Coincident: Since both the slopes and y-intercepts are the same, the lines are coincident.This means the system of equations has infinitely many solutions.The system is consistent and dependent.
