Question 250122
Hi my teacher wants us to determin what each linear graph is, But I have always had trouble with linear equations I was wondering if you could just send me an example of the three different graphs and an explantion for each (independant, dependent, and inconsistent). So I can try to do it myself. thank you so much!!
----------------
Independent: the slopes are different
y = 3x+6
y = x +6
------------------
Dependent: one equation is a multiple of the other
y = 3x+6
2y = 6x+12
-------------------
Inconsistent: the slopes are the same and the intercepts are different.
y = 3x+6
y = 3x+8
==================
Cheers,
