That doesn't apply to "an" equation, but to a set of equations (2 or more). Two equations are:* Inconsistent, if they have no common solution (a set of values, for the variables, that satisfies ALL the equations in the set). * Consistent, if they do. * Dependent, if one equation can be derived from the others. In this case, this equation doesn't provide any extra information. As a simple example, one equation is the same as another equation, multiplying both sides by a constant. * Independent, if this is not the case.
y=x2; if you graph it, it is not a line.
An inconsistent equation is basically a hot mess in the world of math. It's when you have a system of equations that have no solution when graphed together. In other words, it's like trying to mix oil and water - they just don't play nice together. So, when you come across an inconsistent equation, it's basically telling you to go back to the drawing board and try again.
