Question

Given that the solution set to a system of three linear equations is a line, which of the following is true about the system?

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

d) The system can only be dependent and consistent.

Explanation:

In order for the solution to a system of equations to be a line, this means that the lines must lie on top of one another.  This means they are the same line; the system is consistent since there is at least one solution, and dependent since all of the points in one equation work for the other equations as well.

Answer 2
