So graph the two lines. Do they cross? If so, they are consistent, and you can read the solution where the lines cross.
If the lines do not cross, there is no solution.
se a graphing calculator or Excel to find the solution of the system of equations. (If the system is dependent, enter DEPENDENT. If there is no solution, enter NO SOLUTION.)
5x + 3y = 2
3x + 7y = −4
