The system is dependent because if you multiply the first equation by a constant, -3 the result is the second equation. If the system is dependent then there are infinitely many solutions. The solution is (x,y) = (k, (4k + 31)/5) where k is any real numbers.
Here's the graph:

Equation describes a sloping line. For any
equation ax+by+c = 0, slope is .
  • X intercept is found by setting y to 0: ax+by=c becomes ax=c. that means that x = c/a. -31/4 = -7.75.
  • Y intercept is found by setting x to 0: the equation becomes by=c, and therefore y = c/b. Y intercept is -31/-5 = 6.2.
  • Slope is -4/-5 = 0.8.
  • Equation in slope-intercept form: y=0.8*x+6.2.
