Q. Which describes the system of equations below?y=−710x+76y=−710x+710Choices:(A)consistent and dependent(B)inconsistent(C)consistent and independent
Identify Slope Equality: We have the following system of equations:y = −710x+76y = −710x+710Identify whether the slopes of both the equations are the same.In y=−710x+76, the slope is −710.In y=−710x+710, the slope is −710.Yes, the slopes of both equations are the same.
Identify Y-Intercept Equality: We have:y = −710x+76y = −710x+710Identify whether the y-intercepts of both the equations are the same.In y=−710x+76, the y-intercept is 76.In y=−710x+710, the y-intercept is 710.No, the y-intercepts of both equations are not the same.
Choose System Description:y=−710x+76y=−710x+710Choose the option which describes the given system of equations.Since the slopes are the same but the y-intercepts are different, the lines are parallel and never intersect.The system of equations is inconsistent.
