Without graphing, classify each system as independent, dependent, or inconsistent
y = 4x+6
1-8x+2y=12
a. independent
b. dependent
c. inconsistent

It doesn’t say u can’t solve the equation so.. when I solved it I got 11/2=6 which is false .
so these equation don’t hav solutions, therefore this is an inconsistent system of equation bc inconsistent means no solution. Dependent means infinity solutions. Independent means one solution.

Answer to your question: a. the fundamental theorem of algebra tells you that the equation will have two complex roots since the degree of the polynomial is 2. the roots are ​ x=1±i7√2 .number of roots=degree of polynomialhere, degree of polynomial is 2 so number of roots will be 2.hope it *_*
