How do you solve the system of equations by graphing and then classify the system as consistent or inconsistent #2x – 3y = 7# and #8x – 12y = 5#?

The two lines are parallel. They are inconsistent
Explanation:
Given -
#2x-3y=7#
#8x-12y=5#
The slope of the two lines are the same -
#m_1=2/(-3)#
#m_2=8/(-12)=2/(-3)#
Hence they are inconsistent.
