Use the image to answer the question.

A coordinate plane with 4 quadrants ranges from negative 10 to 10 in unit increments on both the x and y axes. A solid line and a dashed line with arrows at both the ends are drawn parallel to each other on the graph. The equation of the solid line is y equals negative x plus 3. The equation of the dashed line is x plus y equals 8.

Solving the system y=−x+3 and x+y=8 by graphing shows that there is no solution to the system. Is this statement true or false? Explain.

The statement is false because the lines are parallel. Looking at the description and the graph, it is clear that the solid line and dashed line are parallel and do not intersect. Therefore, there is no solution to the system of equations.

2 - dependent system of equations
