The graph of linear equations is given. Identify whether the system is consistent or inconsistent.

2x-5y=4

4y= 3x+ 1

The image contains a system of linear equations and a graph representing them:

**Equations:**
1. \( 2x - 5y = 4 \)
2. \( 4y = 3x + 1 \)

**Graph Explanation:**
- The graph depicts two lines on a coordinate plane.
- The horizontal axis represents values of \( x \) and the vertical axis represents values of \( y \).
- The first line (from the equation \( 2x - 5y = 4 \)) is shown intersecting the other line at a certain point.
- The second line (from the equation \( 4y = 3x + 1 \)) is shown sloping upwards.

**Options Provided:**
- Inconsistent
- Consistent

Since the lines intersect at a point, the system of equations is consistent as there is a unique solution.

### System of Equations and Their Graphical Representation

**Equations:**
1. \(2x - 5y = 4\)
2. \(4y = 3x + 1\)

**Graph Description:**
The graph is a coordinate plane with two lines representing the equations above.

- **Line 1** (Equation: \(2x - 5y = 4\)):
  - This line is plotted based on the equation provided. It appears as one of the two lines intersecting on the graph.

- **Line 2** (Equation: \(4y = 3x + 1\)):
  - The line for this equation is also plotted. The equation can be rewritten in slope-intercept form as \(y = \frac{3}{4}x + \frac{1}{4}\).

**Intersection:**
- The two lines intersect at a single point, indicating that the system has one solution.

**Analysis:**
- The given system of equations is **consistent**, as the two lines intersect at a point on the graph.

**Conclusion:**
- When graphed, consistent systems will have at least one solution—either a single intersection point (indicating one solution) or overlapping lines (indicating infinitely many solutions). In this case, the lines intersect once.

Below the graph, there is an option indicating the nature of the system:
- \( \small\text{● inconsistent}\)
- \( \small\text{● consistent}\)
