Which describes the system of equations below?

−

consistent and independent

consistent and dependent

A system of two equations can be classified as follows:

If the slopes are the same but the y-intercepts are different, the system is inconsistent.

If the slopes are different, the system is consistent and independent.

If the slopes are the same and the y-intercepts are the same, the system is consistent and dependent.

The slopes are different, so the lines intersect at one point. The system is consistent and independent.
