\nWe know that given two lines in a plane, only one of the following three possibilities can happen –
\n(i) The two lines will intersect at one point.
\n(ii) The two lines will not intersect, however far they are extended, i.e., they are parallel.
\n(iii) The two lines are coincident lines.

\nTypes Of Solutions:<\/strong>
\nThere are three types of solutions<\/p>\n\n
\n
\n(i) Consistent equations with unique solution:<\/strong> The graphs of two equations intersect at a unique point.
\nFor Example<\/strong>\u00a0Consider
\nx + 2y = 4
\n7x + 4y = 18
\n
\nThe graphs (lines) of these equations intersect each other at the point (2, 1) i.e., x = 2, y = 1.
\nHence, the equations are consistent with unique solution.
\n(ii) Consistent equations with infinitely many solutions:\u00a0<\/strong>The graphs (lines) of the two equations will be coincident.
\nFor Example<\/strong>\u00a0Consider\u00a02x + 4y = 9 \u00a0 \u21d2 \u00a0 3x + 6y = 27\/2
\n
\nThe graphs of the above equations coincide. Coordinates of every point on the lines are the solutions of the equations. Hence, the given equations are consistent with infinitely many solutions.
\n(B) Inconsistent Equation:\u00a0<\/strong>If a system of simultaneous linear equations has no solution, then the system is said to be inconsistent.
\nNo Solution:<\/strong> The graph (lines) of the two equations are parallel.
\nFor Example<\/strong>\u00a0Consider
\n4x + 2y = 10
\n6x + 3y = 6
\n
\nThe graphs (lines) of the given equations are parallel. They will never meet at a point. So, there is no solution. Hence, the equations are inconsistent.

\nFrom the table above you can observe that if the line a1<\/sub>x + b1<\/sub>y + c1<\/sub> = 0 and a2<\/sub>x + b2<\/sub>y + c2\u00a0<\/sub>= 0 are
