5x+ay=2 \\
bx+3y=8

Write it in the y=mx+b form.

ay=-5x+2 \\
3y=-bx+8 \\ \\
y=-\frac{5}{a}x+\frac{2}{a} \\
y=-\frac{b}{3}x+\frac{8}{3}

The system will be inconsistent when the equations describe two parallel lines.
Two lines are parallel when their slopes are identical.
-\frac{5}{a}=-\frac{b}{3} \\
ab=(-5) \times (-3) \\
ab=15

Also they can't be the same line, so the y-intercepts must be different.
\frac{2}{a} \not= \frac{8}{3} \\
8a \not= 2 \times 3 \\
8a \not= 6 \\
a \not= \frac{6}{8} \\
a \not= \frac{3}{4}

So for every value of a and b such that ab=15 and a≠3/2 this system of equations is inconsisent.

It can be:
5x+5y=2 \\
3x+3y=8
or
5x+15y=2 \\
x+3y=8
or
5x+\frac{1}{2}y=2 \\
30x+3y=8
etc.
