System of Equations

Consistent Independent - Has 1 solution. Two different equations with different slopes. Lines cross at one point. Only Solution is where the lines cross.


Consistent Dependent - Has infinite solutions. Has many lines with the same slope and same y-intercept and the lines overlap themselves, therefore it is the same line.




Inconsistent - Has no solution. Has two or more lines with the same slope but different y-intercepts.
