ur graph has one solution (where ur lines intersect)....therefore, it is consistent and independent

Answer:

Option (2) is correct.

The given system of equation is Consistent and independent.

Explanation:

  • coincident : When two lines overlap each other. then they are coincident lines.
  • Inconsistent: When there is no solution for the given system of equations then the system is called "inconsistent".
  • Consistent : When there is one or infinitely many solutions for the given system of equations is called "consistent".
  • Independent : When each equation of the system gives new information Otherwise they are called Dependent. like x + y = 2 and 2x + 2y =4 this shows one equation is multiple of other hence, dependent.

Now consider the given graph,

Since, they intersect at a unique point. Hence, they are consistent.

Also the two given equations are independent of each other .Thus, independent also.

Thus, the given system of equation is Consistent and independent.

Thus, option (2) is correct.
