Q. Which describes the system of equations below?\newliney=6x+6y = 6x + 6\newliney=6x+57y = 6x + \frac{5}{7}\newlineChoices:\newline(A)consistent and dependent\newline(B)inconsistent\newline(C)consistent and independent
  1. Equation Slopes Same: We have the system of equations:\newliney=6x+6y = 6x + 6\newliney=6x+57y = 6x + \frac{5}{7}\newlineIdentify whether the slopes of both the equations are the same.\newlineIn y=6x+6y = 6x + 6, the slope is 66.\newlineIn y=6x+57y = 6x + \frac{5}{7}, the slope is 66.\newlineYes, the slopes of both equations are the same.
  2. Y-Intercepts Different: We have:\newliney=6x+6y = 6x + 6\newliney=6x+57y = 6x + \frac{5}{7}\newlineIdentify whether the y-intercepts of both the equations are the same.\newlineIn y=6x+6y = 6x + 6, the y-intercept is 66.\newlineIn y=6x+57y = 6x + \frac{5}{7}, the y-intercept is 57\frac{5}{7}.\newlineNo, the y-intercepts of both equations are not the same.
  3. System Inconsistent: y=6x+6y = 6x + 6\newliney=6x+57y = 6x + \frac{5}{7}\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.
