We don`t have to graph, but we can solve this system:
y - x = - 3
x + y = 8 ⇒ y = 8 - x
----------------------------
8 - x - x = - 3
- 2 x = - 11, x = - 11 : ( - 2 ) = 5.5
y = 8 - 5.5 = 2.5
System is independent: lines meet in one point. There is only one solution.
Answers:
( a ) The system is neither inconsistent, nor dependent.
( b ) A pair of intersecting lines.
( c ) One solution.
