Chapter 6.1, Problem 12PPS

To determine

Find whether the given system of function(s) is consistent or inconsistent and whether it is independent or dependent.

Answer to Problem 12PPS

The given system of function $y=-3x+4$ and $y=-3x-4$ is inconsistent.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

It is given in the question that, the given functions are $y=-3x+4$ and $y=-3x-4$ .

And the graph is:

The given system of function $y=-3x+4$ and $y=-3x-4$ is inconsistent, because the graph of the given system of function are parallel lines shows in the above graph.
