: the question (i have to do 11 of these) is:
"Determine whether each system is consistent or inconsistent by solving it graphically and algebraically"
{ y=-4x+6
{ 2y=-8x-8
i tried doing "step 1: 2(-4x+6)=-8x-8 step 2: -8x+12=-8x-8 step 3: 0x+12=-8"
and i know it isn't right, could someone explain how you find the answer please.
thanks!!

You have the correct steps. Since the equation is NOT true, this means that there are NO solutions. So the system is inconsistent.
