Question 144155: I have one more question.
Solve the system of equations by graphing. Then classify the system as consistent or inconsistent, and the equation as dependent or independent.
5x - y = 25
5x + 6y = -10

Start with the given system of equations:

In order to graph these equations, we need to solve for y for each equation.

So let's solve for y on the first equation

Start with the given equation

Subtract from both sides

Rearrange the equation

Divide both sides by

Break up the fraction

Reduce

Now lets graph (note: if you need help with graphing, check out this solver)

Graph of

So let's solve for y on the second equation

Start with the given equation

Subtract from both sides

Rearrange the equation

Divide both sides by

Break up the fraction

Reduce

Now lets add the graph of to our first plot to get:

Graph of (red) and (green)

From the graph, we can see that the two lines intersect at the point (4,-5). Since the two graphs intersect each other at one point, this means that the system is consistent and independent.
