Solve the system of equations by graphing. Then classify the system as consistent or inconsistent and as dependent or independent.

5x-4y=-28  Equation 1
4y-5x=28 Equation 2 or writing as -5x+4y=28  multiplying by -1 to both sides leads to an identical Equation 1.  That is, Equations 1 and 2 are identical.


What is the solution of the system of equations?
A. A point
B. No solution
C. Infinitely many solutions  (ANSWER)


Is the system consistent or inconsistent? consistent


Are the equations dependent or independent? dependent
