Dependent? Inconsistent? or Independent?

Question

Determine whether the system of equations is consistent or inconsistent. If the system is consistent, determine whether the equations are dependent or independent.
x + y = 2
x + y = 5


1) Dependent

2) Inconsistent

3) Independent

Answer 1

OBVIOUSLY these two statements are contradictory; x+y cannot equal two different numbers!

INCONSISTENT; 2 parallel lines, no intersection.
