You can put this solution on YOUR website! Solve the system of equations by graphing. Then classify the system as consistent or inconsistent and as dependent or independent. 5x-4y=-28  Equation 1
 4y-5x=28 Equation 2 or writing as -5x+4y=28  multiplying by -1 to both sides leads to an identical Equation 1.  That is, Equations 1 and 2 are identical.
