You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Solve both for y
...
-2x = 4 - y
y = 2x + 4
...
8-2y=x
2y = -x + 8
y = -1%2F2x + 4
...
The system is highlight_green%28independent%29, there is one solution/point of intersection.
...
The slope 2 and -1%2F2 are negative inverse/reciprocals, therefore, the lines are pependicular and will intersect at one point.
...
Inconsistent systems are parallel lines, which have the same slope, and never intersect, therefore there is no solution/point of intersection.
Dependent systems have the same line, such that every point along the line is a solution.
