If you formulate the equations, you'll see that the first equation has a slope of 15 and the second equation has a slope of 15 as well.

The y intercepts for the first and second equations are 30 and 30 (since 12+18 = 30)

Because we get the same slope and the same y-intercept, we're dealing with the same line. So the answer is Consistent/Dependent
