Q. Which describes the system of equations below?y=6x+52y=72x+38Choices:(A)consistent and dependent(B)consistent and independent(C)inconsistent
Identify slopes: Step 1: Identify the slopes of both equations.For y=6x+52, the slope is 6.For y=72x+38, the slope is 72.Since the slopes are different, the lines are not parallel and will intersect at one point.
Check y-intercepts: Step 2: Check if the y-intercepts are the same.For y=6x+52, the y-intercept is 52.For y=72x+38, the y-intercept is 38.The y-intercepts are different, confirming that the lines will intersect at one point.
