Q. Which describes the system of equations below?\newliney=3x+1y = 3x + 1\newliney=3x+89y = 3x + \frac{8}{9}\newlineChoices:\newline(A)consistent and dependent\newline(B)inconsistent\newline(C)consistent and independent
  1. Identify Slopes: We have the following system of equations:\newliney=3x+1y = 3x + 1\newliney=3x+89y = 3x + \frac{8}{9}\newlineIdentify whether the slopes of both the equations are the same.\newlineIn y=3x+1y = 3x + 1, the slope is 33.\newlineIn y=3x+89y = 3x + \frac{8}{9}, the slope is also 33.\newlineYes, the slopes of both equations are the same.
  2. Identify Y-Intercepts: We have:\newliney=3x+1y = 3x + 1\newliney=3x+89y = 3x + \frac{8}{9}\newlineIdentify whether the y-intercepts of both the equations are the same.\newlineIn y=3x+1y = 3x + 1, the y-intercept is 11.\newlineIn y=3x+89y = 3x + \frac{8}{9}, the y-intercept is 89\frac{8}{9}.\newlineNo, the y-intercepts of both equations are not the same.
  3. Choose System Description: y=3x+1y = 3x + 1\newliney=3x+89y = 3x + \frac{8}{9}\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.
