Question 328080: Solve the system of equations by graphing. Then classify the system
X = 9
y = -4
what is the ordered pair solution?
is the system consistant or inconsistant??
Are the equations independent or dependant??

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x=9 is a vertical line, y=-4 is a horizontal line. The intersection is the point where these lines cross, which is the point (9,-4).

The solution is consistent, since there is a solution. The equations are independent, since the two lines are NOT the same line.
