Question 461878: Consider the system y=a and x=b where a and b are real numbers. Is this system
dependent or independent? Is it consistent or inconsistent? Describe the system. If it is
consistent, what is the solution?
Answer by robertb(5830) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The system is actually consistent.
The line y = a is represented by a horizontal line with y-intercept a.
The line x = b is represented by a vertical line with x-intercept b.
The solutions are the coordinates of the point of intersection of the two lines, namely (b,a).
