Without graphing, is the system independent, dependent, or inconsistent?
y=2x-8
2x-y=8
To determine if the system is independent, dependent, or inconsistent, we can compare the coefficients of x and y in the equations.
In the first equation, the coefficient of x is 2 and the coefficient of y is -1.
In the second equation, the coefficient of x is 2 and the coefficient of y is -1 (after rearranging the equation).
Since the coefficients of x and y are the same in both equations, we can conclude that the system is dependent.
