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?

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).
