Intersecting (they have one unique pair of solutions)
Correct Answer
B. Inconsistent (they are parallel lines with no solutions)Explanation
The given equations are described as inconsistent because they represent parallel lines that do not intersect. When two lines are parallel, they have the same slope but different y-intercepts. Since parallel lines never intersect, there are no solutions that satisfy both equations simultaneously. Therefore, the equations are inconsistent.Rate this question:
