Q. Which describes the system of equations below?\newliney=5x6y = 5x - 6\newliney=5x+29y = 5x + \frac{2}{9}\newlineChoices:\newline(A)consistent and independent\newline(B)inconsistent\newline(C)consistent and dependent
  1. Identify Slopes: We have the following system of equations:\newliney=5x6y = 5x − 6\newliney=5x+29y = 5x + \frac{2}{9}\newlineIdentify whether the slopes of both the equations are the same.\newlineIn y=5x6y = 5x − 6, the slope is 55.\newlineIn y=5x+29y = 5x + \frac{2}{9}, the slope is also 55.\newlineYes, the slopes of both equations are the same.
  2. Identify Y-Intercepts: We have:\newliney = 55x − 66\newliney = 5x+295x + \frac{2}{9}\newlineIdentify whether the y-intercepts of both the equations are the same.\newlineIn y=5x6y = 5x − 6, the y-intercept is 6-6.\newlineIn y=5x+29y = 5x + \frac{2}{9}, the y-intercept is 29\frac{2}{9}.\newlineNo, the y-intercepts of both equations are not the same.
  3. Choose System Description: y=5x6y = 5x - 6\newliney=5x+29y = 5x + \frac{2}{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.
