Solve the following system of equations by graphing. If the system is inconsistent or the equations are dependent, say so
5x-2y=3
10x-4y=6
-----
Simplify::
5x-2y = 3
5x-2y = 3
-----
The system is dependent.
Graph::
2y = 5x-3
y = (5/2)x - (3/2)
----
Plot (0,3/2)
Plot (2,7/2)
Draw a line thru those points.
