Is 3x+y=-2 inconsistent, consistent and dependent or consistent and independent?
6x+2y=10
---------------------
y =-3x -2
y =-3x +5
----------
These two lines are parallel because they have the same slope.
----
The system is inconsistent because there is no x/y pair that is
true for the two equations.
