Question 861495: Graph each system of equations and find any solutions. Check your answers. Identify the system as consistent or inconsistent. If the system is consistent, state whether the equations are dependent or independent.
x-4y=4
2x-8y=4

Answer by Fombitz(32388) About Me  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If you multiply eq. 1 by 2, you get
1.2x-8y=8
2.2x-8y=4
Same left hand side, different right hand side.
These are parallel lines.
Inconsistent.
No solution since the lines never meet.
