Question 113461
2x-3y=15
 y=(2/3)x-10.
am i correct in saying this system is inconsistant?
------------
Putting both in slope-intercept form you get:
 y = (2/3)x -5
 y = (2/3)x-10
---------------
These are parallel lines because their slopes are the same.
They are different lines because their y-intercepts are different.
---------------
The system is inconsistent because there is no x/y pair that
satisfies both equations.
