I'll do the first two to get you started
# 1
Start with the given system of equations:
In order to graph these equations, we must solve for y first.
Let's graph the first equation:
Start with the first equation.
Subtract from both sides.
Divide both sides by to isolate .
Rearrange the terms and simplify.
Now let's graph the equation:
Graph of .
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Now let's graph the second equation:
Start with the second equation.
Subtract from both sides.
Divide both sides by to isolate .
Rearrange the terms and simplify.
Now let's graph the equation:
Graph of .
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Now let's graph the two equations together:
Graph of (red). Graph of (green)
From the graph, we can see that the two lines intersect at the point
. So the solution to the system of equations is
. This tells us that the system of equations is consistent and independent.

Now let's graph the two equations together:
Graph of (red). Graph of (green)
From the graph, we can see that one line is right on top of the other one, which means that they intersect an infinite number of times. So there are an infinite number of solutions. This means that the system of equations is consistent and dependent.
