If a pair of linear equations is inconsistent, the graph of the two equations will be
Aintersecting lines
Bcoincident lines
Cthe same line
Dparallel lines
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. parallel lines
1. Inconsistent means no solution exists.
2. Two lines with no common point are **parallel lines**.
3. Intersecting lines give a unique solution and coincident lines give infinitely many.
