Without graphing, classify the system of equations as either consistent or inconsistent. −7x+8y=9

21x/8−3y=−6

How you know if a system is consistent or inconsistent or dependent without graphing:

If a consistent system has a infinite number of solutions, it is dependent. When you graph the equation, both equations represent the same line. If a system has no solution, it is said to be inconsistent. If the graphs of the lines do not intersect, the graphs are parallel and there is no solution.

Hope this helps.
