Question 941430
y = -2x - 5
 y = -2x + 3 dependent, independent, consistent, inconsistent, neither dependent, independent
 ----
Both have slope = -2
So the lines are parallel.
Therefore::
Not de;endent because one is not a multiple of the other
Independent:: yes
No solution so the variables do not have consistent value.
Inconsistent:: yes
