Answer 1

@adamaero do you know what to do?

Answer 2

@Algorithmic

Answer 3

You should know the vocab. I'd look it up and tell you, but then again I wouldn't--cuz that's what you should be doing!

Answer 4

sorry, but I'm out

Answer 5

@myininaya could you possibly help?

Answer 6

you have shown a pair of lines that do not intersect
which one of your terms has that in its definitions

Answer 7

B?

Answer 8

"Consistent and inconsistent systems. A system of equations is said to be consistent if it has a solution i.e. if there exists at least one set of values of the variables that satisfies all the equations. If there does not exist at least one set of values of the variables that satisfies all the equations, no solution exists and the system is said to be inconsistent. A consistent system may have just one solution or it may have infinitely many solutions.

now there is no intersection so there is no solution

Answer 9

no intersection=>no solution=> that the system is __________

Answer 10

Ok o_O so inconsistent?

Answer 11

yah
no solution->the system is inconsistent :)

Answer 12

Sorry I'm terrible at math

Answer 13

And thanks could you help on a few more?
