The system is consistent and independent since the solutions are y = a and x = b which gives us the ordered pair (b,a)

These equations draw lines that intersect at the point (b,a)

Hi,
.
*Note: these lines are perpendiular to one another:
.
y = a is perpendicular to the y-axis at point (0, a)
.
x = b is is perpendicular to the x-axis at point (b, 0)
.
The lines will cross at Pt(b,a) and Pt(b,a) will be the solution for the system.
The system is consistent as Pt(b,a) is consistent with both lines.
.
The example below would be y = 5 and x = 4. these lines having Pt(4,5) in common
