3x+4y=5 2x-5y=8
Is this consistent and independent, consistent and dependent, or inconsistent

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: 3x + 4y = 5
2x - 5y = 8
 
To answer this question, we need to put both of these equations into Slope-Intercept form, or in other words, solve for y.

3x + 4y = 5            Subtract 3x from both sides
        4y = -3x + 5   Divide both sides by 4
          y = -(3)/(4)(5)/(4)

2x - 5y = 8   Subtract 2x from both sides
      -5y = -2x + 8   Divide both sides by -5
         y = (2)/(5)(8)/(5)

When you look at the two equations, you can see that their slopes are completely different, so they aren't parallel, or inconsistent. Since  (2)/(5) is not the same as -(3)/(4), they aren't the same line, or dependent. So, the only option left is that they are consistent and independent.
