Inconsistent -----------------------> parallel LINES
this is when a1/a2 = b1/b2 and not equal to c1/c2
when the coefficient in the variables are the same but different constant

This lesson concerns systems of two equations, such as:
2x + y = 10
3x + y = 13.
The equations can be viewed algebraically or graphically. Usually, the problem is to find a solution for x and y that satisfies both equations simultaneously. Graphically, this represents a point where the lines cross. There are 3 possible outcomes to this (shown here in blue, green, and red):
The two lines might not cross at all, as in
y = x
y = x + 10.
y = x
y = x + 10.
This means there are no solutions, and the system is called inconsistent.
If you try to solve this system algebraically, you'll end up with something that's not true, such as 0 = 10.
Whenever you end up with something that's not true, the system is inconsistent.
