System of equations: solve 3x + y = 7, 4x + 5y = -9 w/ graph

Solve the system of equations by graphing. Then classify the system as consistent or inconsistent and the equations as dependent or independent.
3x+y=7
4x+5y=-9
What is the solution of the system of equations? Is the system consistent or inconsistent? Are the equations dependent or independent?

So... what is your question? You've drawn the two lines, noted where they cross, and... then what? Where are you stuck?

Please be specific. Thank you!
