You can put this solution on YOUR website! Is -2x-y=9 and 3x-4y=-8 a independent, dependent, or inconsistent soultion
when graphed?
---
Look at the slopes.
y = -2x-9 and y = (3/4)x +2
-----
One line has a slope of -2; the other has a slope of 3/4
---
Two lines that have different slopes must intersect in one point.
---
The system is independent because one line is not a multiple of the other.
