Question

Without graphing classify each system as independent dependent or inconsistent -x -y=7 5x-5y=5

Answer 1

Answer:

Is a consistent independent system

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$-x-y=7$ -----> isolate the variable y

$y=-x-7$ ----> equation A

$5x-5y=5$ -----> isolate the variable y

$y=x-5$ ---> equation B

Compare equation A and equation B

We can affirm that

The slopes are not equal ( so the lines are not parallel)

The lines are different

The product of their slopes is equal to -1 (the lines are perpendicular)

so

The system of equations has only one solution

therefore

Is a consistent independent system
