Answer (3)

The equtaion has only one solution because they cut each other only once and the are independent ..as both line are different. So it would be (d) consistent and independent

Answer: D. consistent and independent ;

The system of equations 2 y − 3 x = 9 and 4 y + 3 x = 12 represents two lines with different slopes, meaning they intersect at one point. Thus, the system is consistent and independent; the correct answer is D . They have one unique solution and are not parallel.
