Question 320184: I have a question that is a T/F question. Can anyone explain? Thanks in advance for your wisdom!
The equations y = 3x – 6 and y = 2x + 4 are independent. True or false and why. Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Yes, they are independent because the lines do not
have the same slope and therefore are not parallel
and are not dependent.

===========
dependent: one is a multiple of the other
independent: intersect at one point because slopes differ.
inconsistent: parallel lines
consistent: not parallel
