Question 201951: Solve the system of equations by graphing. Then classify the system.
7x - 8y = -48
8y - 7x = 48
What is the ordered pair?
Is the system consistent or inconsistent?
Is it dependent or independent?
Can someone also give me a break down of how to do this because I am very confused! Thank you!

Solve the system of equations by graphing. Then classify the system.
7x - 8y = -48
8y - 7x = 48
-------------------
Put equations in slope-intercept form:
y = (7/8)x + 6
y = (7/8)x + 6
-------------------------
What is the ordered pair?
The two equations are the same.
The intersection of the two lines is (x, (7/8)x+6)
----------------------
Is the system consistent or inconsistent?
Consistent
Is it dependent or independent?
Dependent
