Without graphing, is the system independent, dependent, or inconsistent y=2x-8 2x-y=8
2 answers:
An independent system has different slopes hence has a unique solution.
If two lines have the same slope then, they are inconsistent. The reason is that the two lines could have NO SOLUTION or INFINITELY MANY SOLUTION.
An inconsistent system that have infinitely many solution is said to be dependent.
Now let us make the subject in both equations, to obtain,
For the seccond equation, we have
Wow, the two systems have the same slope and intercept. This means the system has infinitely many solution, hence it is dependent.
<h2>The two systems are dependent</h2>

When you derive a function from another using the transformation
you're translating the graph of the parent function f(x) horizontally.
More specifically, you translate the graph k units to the left if k is positive, k units to the right if k in negative.
So, starting from the graph of f(x), you have that the graph of
is the same graph of f(x), but shifted 3 units to the left.
