b. Consistent and dependant 
c. Inconsistent 
d. None of the above

Note that a consistent and independent means you can only one have solution to your system. And a consistent and dependant means you can have an infinite amount of solutions, so have you tried solving the system?

anonymous · Answer

And inconsistent is if there is no solution which is often just parallel lines

Nope
