Question 437721

Which of these pairs of equations is independent, dependent or 
consistent? please help explain.
-------------------------------------------------
Put each equation in slope-intercept form.
Note the slope and intercept of each equation.
---
If you have a pair of equations with the
same slope and same intercept the equations are dependent.
---
If you have a pair of equations with the
same slope and different intercepts the equations are inconsistent.
----
If you have a pair of equations with different slopes
the equations are consistent and independent.
