You can put this solution on YOUR website!
y=highlight%283%29x%2B5........eq 1
3y-9x+1=0--->3y=9x-1--->y=highlight%283%29x-%281%2F3%29
:
the slopes of these two equations are equal therefore there is NO solution
:
therefore the system is inconsistent(dependency or indepency does not come into
:
play in an inconsistent system)
