Q. Which describes the system of equations below?\newliney=6x8y = 6x - 8\newliney=6x74y = 6x - \frac{7}{4}\newlineChoices:\newline(A)consistent and independent\newline(B)inconsistent\newline(C)consistent and dependent
  1. Identify Slopes: Identify the slopes of both equations.\newlineFor y=6x8y = 6x - 8, the slope is 66.\newlineFor y=6x74y = 6x - \frac{7}{4}, the slope is also 66.\newlineBoth equations have the same slope.
  2. Compare Y-Intercepts: Compare the y-intercepts of both equations.\newlineFor y=6x8y = 6x - 8, the y-intercept is 8-8.\newlineFor y=6x74y = 6x - \frac{7}{4}, the y-intercept is 74-\frac{7}{4}.\newlineThe y-intercepts are different.
  3. Determine System Type: Determine the type of system based on slopes and yy-intercepts.\newlineSince the slopes are the same but the yy-intercepts are different, the lines are parallel and do not intersect.\newlineThis means the system has no solution.
