You can put this solution on YOUR website!
9x - 8y = 56
8y - 9x = -56
is the solution a point, no solution or infinitely many solutions?
is the system consistent or inconsistent?
are the equations dependent or independent?

Write each in slope-intercept form:
y = (9/8)x -7
y = (9/8)x -7
------
Infinitely many solutions.
consistent
dependent
