Answer:

Option C) inconsistent

Therefore the given system of equations is an inconsistent

Explanation:

Given system of linear equations is

y=-2x+5 and 2x+y=5

y=-2x+5 can be written as 2x+y=5

Therefore the given two equations are same line

Therefore the given system of equations is an inconsistent system of equations

There is no solution for this system of equations because the two lines are parallel.

Therefore option C) inconsistent

The given system of equations is an inconsistent
