Answer
the solution is $(-7,-2)$;
the system is consistent;
the lines are independent
Work Step by Step
Using a table of values, the graphs of the given equations are shown below.
The solution to the given system is the point of intersection of the graphs of the equations. Hence, the solution to the given system is $
(-7,-2)
$.
Since the graphs intersect, then the system is consistent. Since there is only $1$ point of intersection, then the lines are independent.
