Question 1005290: Without graphing, answer the following questions for the following linear system
3x+2y=7
18x+12y=3
a) Is the system inconsistent, or are the equations dependent, or neither?
b) Is the graph a pair of intersecting lines, a pair of parallel lines, or one line?
c) Does the system have one solution, no solution, or an infinite number of solutions?

Each equation has the same slope of , so either the two equations are for parallel lines or are for the same line.

The system changed into slope-intercept form:

DIFFERENT LINES

The slopes are the same but those are two different lines. That is everything you need to know to solve your problem.
