Question 191384This question is from textbook algebra 1
: the question (i have to do 11 of these) is:
"Determine whether each system is consistent or inconsistent by solving it graphically and algebraically"
{ y=-4x+6
{ 2y=-8x-8
i tried doing "step 1: 2(-4x+6)=-8x-8 step 2: -8x+12=-8x-8 step 3: 0x+12=-8"
and i know it isn't right, could someone explain how you find the answer please.
thanks!!

You have the correct steps. Since the equation 12=-8 is NOT true, this means that there are NO solutions. So the system is inconsistent.
