To calculate:whether the given equations are consistent or inconsistent by comparing there slope and y -intercept.

Answer to Problem 29WE
The system of equation is inconsistent.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:The equations are
Formula used:
Slope-intercept form of line is:
Calculation:
Equation
Equation
Since the slope of equation (1) & (2) are same and the y-interceptof equation (1) & (2) are different, the lines are parallel therefore there will be no solutions of the system and hence system of equation is inconsistent.
