Without graphing, is the system independent, dependent, or inconsistent?. - 2x-y=9. 3x-4y=-8.

first of all, we should know the following definitions: if a system of equations has exactly one solution it is called independent if a system of equations has at least one solution it is called consistent if a system of equations has infinite solution it is called dependent in our case we have - 2x - y = 9 3x - 4y = - 8 - 11x = - 28, x = 28 / 11 and y = 9-56/11 the system has at least one solution, the system is called consistent
