Q. Which describes the system of equations below?\newliney=9x2y = 9x - 2\newliney=9x+109y = 9x + \frac{10}{9}\newlineChoices:\newline(A)inconsistent\newline(B)consistent and independent\newline(C)consistent and dependent
  1. Analyze slopes: Step 11: Analyze the slopes of both equations.\newline- Equation 11: y=9x2y = 9x − 2, slope = 99.\newline- Equation 22: y=9x+109y = 9x + \frac{10}{9}, slope = 99.\newlineBoth equations have the same slope.
  2. Compare y-intercepts: Step 22: Compare the y-intercepts of both equations.\newline- Equation 11: y=9x2y = 9x − 2, y-intercept = 2-2.\newline- Equation 22: y=9x+109y = 9x + \frac{10}{9}, y-intercept = 109\frac{10}{9}.\newlineThe y-intercepts are different.
  3. Determine system type: Step 33: Determine the type of system based on slopes and y-intercepts.\newlineSince the slopes are the same but the y-intercepts are different, the lines are parallel and do not intersect. This means the system has no solution.
