Answer:

3. independent and consistent

Explanation:

Intersecting Lines have a single point at which the lines intersect. Therefore the solution to this type of system is called a consistent system. (A type of system of linear equation in two variables.) Therefore, there will be no point that is common to both lines. If a system has at least one solution, it is said to be consistent. If a consistent system has exactly one solution, it is independent. If a consistent system has an infinite number of solutions, it is dependent. When you graph the equations, both equations represent the same line.
