Q. Which describes the system of equations below?\newliney=95x8y = \frac{9}{5}x - 8\newliney=95x49y = \frac{9}{5}x - \frac{4}{9}\newlineChoices:\newline(A)inconsistent\newline(B)consistent and dependent\newline(C)consistent and independent
  1. Identify Slopes: We have the system of equations:\newliney = (95)x8(\frac{9}{5})x - 8\newliney = (95)x49(\frac{9}{5})x - \frac{4}{9}\newlineIdentify whether the slopes of both the equations are the same.\newlineIn y=(95)x8y = (\frac{9}{5})x - 8, the slope is 95\frac{9}{5}.\newlineIn y=(95)x49y = (\frac{9}{5})x - \frac{4}{9}, the slope is 95\frac{9}{5}.\newlineYes, the slopes of both equations are the same.
  2. Identify Y-Intercepts: We have:\newliney = (95)x8(\frac{9}{5})x - 8\newliney = (95)x49(\frac{9}{5})x - \frac{4}{9}\newlineIdentify whether the y-intercepts of both the equations are the same.\newlineIn y=(95)x8y = (\frac{9}{5})x - 8, the y-intercept is 8-8.\newlineIn y=(95)x49y = (\frac{9}{5})x - \frac{4}{9}, the y-intercept is 49-\frac{4}{9}.\newlineNo, the y-intercepts of both equations are not the same.
  3. Choose Description: y=95x8y = \frac{9}{5}x - 8\newliney=95x49y = \frac{9}{5}x - \frac{4}{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.
