SOLUTION: I have a question that is a T/F question. Can anyone explain? Thanks in advance for your wisdom! The equations y = 3x � 6 and y = 2x + 4 are independent. True or false and why.

Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Yes, they are independent because the lines do not
have the same slope and therefore are not parallel
and are not dependent.

dependent: one is a multiple of the other
independent: intersect at one point because slopes differ.
inconsistent: parallel lines
consistent: not parallel
