Start with the given system of equations:







In order to graph these equations, we need to solve for y for each equation.



So let's solve for y on the first equation

Start with the given equation


Subtract from both sides


Rearrange the equation


Divide both sides by


Break up the fraction


Reduce


Now lets graph (note: if you need help with graphing, check out this solver)


Graph of



So let's solve for y on the second equation

Start with the given equation


Subtract from both sides


Rearrange the equation


Divide both sides by


Break up the fraction


Reduce



Now lets add the graph of to our first plot to get:

Graph of (red) and (green)

From the graph, we can see that the two lines are identical (one lies perfectly on top of the other) and intersect at all points of both lines. So there are an infinite number of solutions and the system is dependent.
