Q. Which describes the system of equations below?\newliney=9x+52y = -9x + \frac{5}{2}\newliney=9x+52y = -9x + \frac{5}{2}\newlineChoices:\newline(A)consistent and independent\newline(B)inconsistent\newline(C)consistent and dependent
  1. Identify Slopes: We have the system of equations:\newliney = 9x+52-9x + \frac{5}{2}\newliney = 9x+52-9x + \frac{5}{2}\newlineIdentify whether the slopes of both the equations are the same.\newlineIn y=9x+52y = -9x + \frac{5}{2}, the slope is 9-9.\newlineIn y=9x+52y = -9x + \frac{5}{2}, the slope is 9-9.\newlineYes, the slopes of both the equations are the same.
  2. Identify Y-Intercepts: We have the system of equations:\newliney=9x+52y = -9x + \frac{5}{2}\newliney=9x+52y = -9x + \frac{5}{2}\newlineIdentify whether the y-intercepts of both the equations are the same.\newlineIn y=9x+52y = -9x + \frac{5}{2}, the y-intercept is 52\frac{5}{2}.\newlineIn y=9x+52y = -9x + \frac{5}{2}, the y-intercept is 52\frac{5}{2}.\newlineYes, the y-intercepts of both the equations are the same.
  3. Choose System Description: y=9x+52y = -9x + \frac{5}{2}\newliney=9x+52y = -9x + \frac{5}{2}\newlineChoose the option which describes the given system of equations.\newlineSince the slopes and yy-intercepts are the same, the system of equations is consistent and dependent.
