Q. Which describes the system of equations below?\newliney=32x+9y = \frac{3}{2}x + 9\newliney=32x+14y = \frac{3}{2}x + \frac{1}{4}\newlineChoices:\newline(A)consistent and dependent\newline(B)consistent and independent\newline(C)inconsistent
  1. Identify Slope Equality: We have the following system of equations:\newliney = (32)x+9(\frac{3}{2})x + 9\newliney = (32)x+14(\frac{3}{2})x + \frac{1}{4}\newlineIdentify whether the slopes of both the equations are the same.\newlineIn y=(32)x+9y = (\frac{3}{2})x + 9, the slope is 32\frac{3}{2}.\newlineIn y=(32)x+14y = (\frac{3}{2})x + \frac{1}{4}, the slope is 32\frac{3}{2}.\newlineYes, the slopes of both equations are the same.
  2. Identify Y-Intercept Equality: We have:\newliney = (32)x+9(\frac{3}{2})x + 9\newliney = (32)x+14(\frac{3}{2})x + \frac{1}{4}\newlineIdentify whether the y-intercepts of both the equations are the same.\newlineIn y=(32)x+9y = (\frac{3}{2})x + 9, the y-intercept is 99.\newlineIn y=(32)x+14y = (\frac{3}{2})x + \frac{1}{4}, the y-intercept is 14\frac{1}{4}.\newlineNo, the y-intercepts of both equations are not the same.
  3. Choose System Description: y=32x+9y = \frac{3}{2}x + 9\newliney=32x+14y = \frac{3}{2}x + \frac{1}{4}\newlineChoose the option which describes the given system of equations.\newlineSince the slopes are the same but the y-intercepts are different, the lines are parallel and never intersect.\newlineThe system of equations is inconsistent.
