Answer:
Option C
Step-by-step explanation:
I am going to assume that one doesn't know what an inconsistent or consistent system of equations is, let alone what a dependent and independent system of equation is. Well an inconsistent system is one that have no solutions, while a consistent system of equations has solutions. A consistent dependent system has infinite solutions, while a consistent independent system has 1 solution.
_______________________________________________________
This system of equations has one solution, as the slopes are not the same nor a multiple of one another ( no solution ) , and the equations are not the same either, nor a multiple of one another ( infinite solutions ). Thus, the system of equations is consistent, independent - Option C
I hope that clarified any questions that you had, as the answer was not Option D!
