Answer:

consistent, independent

Explanation:

Systems of equations are most easily classified these ways if the equations are in the same form. If we solve the second equation for y, we have ...

y = x - 1

The x-coefficients of this and the first equation are different, so the system is consistent and independent.

__

A system is independent if the equations describe different lines.

A system is inconsistent if the equations describe parallel lines.

Here, the different lines are not parallel, so the system is independent and consistent.
