The system of linear equations, y = 2x + 4 ;
2y = x + 6 has a unique solution and it is a consistent system of linear equations.
An ordered pair that satisfies all equations of the system is the solution of the system. A system of linear equations can have one solution, no solution, or an infinite number of solutions. The systems of equations can be classified according to the number of solutions. If a system has at least one i.e unique solution, it is called consistent. We have, the system of equations is
y = 2x + 4 => 2x - y + 4 = 0 --(1)
2y = x + 2 => x - 2y + 6 = 0 --(2)
Comparing the equation (1) with a₁x + b₁y + c₁=0
and equation(2) with a₂x + b₂y + c₂=0
We get, a₁ = 2 , a₂= 1 , b₁ = -1 , c₁= 4 , b₂= -2 , c₂ = 2
Now, compute the ratio of coefficients of variables .
a₁/a₂ = 2/1 , b₁/b₂ = -1/-2 = 1/2 , c₁/c₂= 4/6 = 2/3
=> a1/a2 ≠ b1/b2 ,
here, both lines are intersect at a point and a unique solution exist for pair of linear equations. In such a case , the pair of linear equations is said to be consistent. Thus, system is consistent.
