Study Notes
Key Terms in Linear Equations
- Consistent: A system of equations with at least one solution.
- Inconsistent: A system of equations that has no solutions.
- Independent: A system of equations with exactly one unique solution.
- Dependent: A system of equations that has infinitely many solutions.
Relationships Based on Slopes and Intercepts
- When two equations have the same slope but different y-intercepts, the system is classified as inconsistent.
- When two equations have the same slope and the same y-intercept, the system is classified as consistent-dependent.
- When two equations have different slopes, the system is classified as consistent-independent, regardless of the y-intercepts.
