Answer:

we conclude that the given system of equations is consistent and independent.

Hence, option B is true.

Explanation:

From the figure it is clear that the two lines intersect at one point.

In other words, there is only one point of intersection of the given system of equations.

It means the system of equations contains exactly one solution.

We know that If a consistent system contains exactly one solution, it is termed as an independent.

Therefore, we conclude that the given system of equations is consistent and independent.

Hence, option B is true.
