Inconsistent Pair of Linear Equations
If a pair of ...
Question
If a pair of linear equations is inconsistent, then their graph lines will be
(a) parallel
(b) always coincident
(c) always intersecting
(d) intersecting or coincident
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is (a).
If a pair of linear equations in two variables is inconsistent, then no solution exists as they have no common point. And, since there is no common solution, their graph lines do not intersect. Hence, they are parallel.
