Hi, 

Solve the system of equations by graphing. Then classify the item.

 3u+v=4 Pt(0,4) and (4/3,0)

 3u=v+8 Pt (0,-8) and (8/3,0)

Plot Pts ,c onnect with respective lines.

Lines Intersect at Pt(2,-2) system is Independent



A consistent system has at least one solution.

An inconsistent system has no solutions.

An independent system has exactly one solution. ****

A dependent system has infinitely many solutions.
