Question

I need to know this now

Answer 1

Answer:

Option A) Inconsistent is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equations are $y=5x+2\hfill (1)$

and $10x-2y=12\hfill (2)$

Rewritting the equation y=5x+2 as below

5x-y=-2

Now multiplying the above equation into 2 we get

$10x-2y=-4\hfill (3)$

Now subtracting the equations (2) and (3)

10x-2y=12

10x-2y=-4

________

$0\neq 16$

Therefore the given system of equations has no solution

Therefore it is inconsistent

Therefore given two lines are parallel. Two parallel lines never intersect, so the given system has no solution and is inconsistent.

Option A) Inconsistent is correct
