Q. Which describes the system of equations below?\newliney=18x+10y = \frac{1}{8}x + 10\newliney=18x+10y = \frac{1}{8}x + 10\newlineChoices:\newline(A)consistent and independent\newline(B)consistent and dependent\newline(C)inconsistent
  1. Check Slopes: Step 11: Check if the slopes of both equations are the same.\newlineIn y=18x+10y = \frac{1}{8}x + 10, the slope is 18\frac{1}{8}.\newlineIn y=18x+10y = \frac{1}{8}x + 10, the slope is also 18\frac{1}{8}.
  2. Check Y-Intercepts: Step 22: Check if the y-intercepts of both equations are the same.\newlineIn y=18x+10y = \frac{1}{8}x + 10, the y-intercept is 1010.\newlineIn y=18x+10y = \frac{1}{8}x + 10, the y-intercept is also 1010.
  3. Determine System Type: Step 33: Determine the type of system based on the slopes and yy-intercepts.\newlineSince both the slope and yy-intercept are the same for both equations, the lines are identical. This means every solution of one equation is a solution of the other, so the system is consistent and dependent.
