Question 764876: How to know if the equation given are dependent, consistent and inconsistent without solving. What is the pattern?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You plot the equations in the graph and analyze them.
If their intersection is a single point, then the system is consistent (one solution).
If their intersection is a line, then the system is dependent (infinitely as many solutions).
If they have no intersection, then the system is inconsistent (has no solutions).
