Graphing Systems of Equations
Consistent Independent System
Always have a single solution.
x = 2, y = 3
Graphically, the solution is the intersection point of the two straight lines.
Consistent Dependent System
The system has infinite solutions.
Graphically, two identical straight lines are obtained and any point on the line is a solution.
Inconsistent System
Has no solution
Graphically, two parallel straight lines are obtained.
