To calculate:whether the given equations are consistent or inconsistent by comparing there slope and y -intercept.
Answer to Problem 32WE
The system of equation is consistent.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:The equations are
Formula used:
Slope-intercept form of line is:
Calculation:
Equation
Equation
Since the slope and the y -intercept of equation (1) & (2) are different, the lines are not paralleltherefore the lines will intersect each other at some point and there will be aunique solutions of the system and hence system of equation is consistent.
